Pip one of the favourites at Wimbledon? (4)
I believe the answer is:
seed
'pip' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seed that I've seen before include "Propagative part of plant" , "one with potential to grow up?" , "See 19" , "people decline to go to" , "offspring" .)
