New girl in a spin going after love (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

original

'new' is the definition.
('original' can be similar in meaning to 'new')

'girl in a spin going after love' is the wordplay.
'spin' is an anagram indicator.
'going after' says to put letters next to each other.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'girl'+'in'+'a'='girlina'
'girlina' is an anagram of 'riginal'.
'riginal' put after 'o' is 'ORIGINAL'.

(Other definitions for original that I've seen before include "Primitive, earliest" , "First; (an) odd character" , "Not derived or copied from anything else" , "From which a copy is made" , "Archetype,master copy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
