Shown the way from Wimbledon (3)

I believe the answer is:

led

'shown the way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'from wimbledon' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LED' can be found hidden inside 'wimbledon'.

(Other definitions for led that I've seen before include "Was guiding" , "Something emitting light" , "Went ahead" , "Emitter of light" , "had the edge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
