Tennis stars still having growing potential? (5)
I believe the answer is:
seeds
'tennis stars' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seeds that I've seen before include "Initiates the growth of" , "favourites for the trophy?" , "Favoured entrants in a knock-out competition" , "More than one good player" , "Small hard fruits" .)
