Scrub part of tennis court (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scour

'scrub' is the definition.
(I know that scrub can be written as scour)

'part of tennis court' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'SCOUR' is hidden in the letters of 'tennis court'.

(Other definitions for scour that I've seen before include "Turn upside down" , "Scrub hard" , "search in detail" , "Clean by abrasion" , "Look high and low" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
