'serving for the match' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'wade aced king missing a shot' is the wordplay.
'missing' is a deletion indicator.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'wade'+'aced'+'king'='wadeacedking'
'wadeacedking' with 'a' taken out is 'wdeacedking'.
'wdeacedking' with letters rearranged gives 'WEDDING-CAKE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wedding cake that I've seen before include "Tiered confection" , "centrepiece at reception?" , "A winged deck (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
