Point of no return for champion (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ace

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'point of no return' is the first definition.
(tennis serve which is not returned)

'champion' is the second definition.
(both can mean a person excelling at something)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for ace that I've seen before include "Brilliant" , "Girl" , "Playing card - expert" , "The opponent can't return this serve" , "Playing card with a single symbol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
