Make my daughter serve again after this? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net cord

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'serve again after this?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'make my daughter' is the wordplay.
'make' becomes 'net' (I've seen this before).
'my' becomes 'cor' (I've seen this in other clues).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'net'+'cor'+'d'='NET-CORD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for net cord that I've seen before include "to Wimbledon, it's essential" , "Tennis shot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
