Tennis tactic where ingenious prods desirable (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
drop-shot
'tennis' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'tactic where ingenious prods desirable' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'prods' is 'drops' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
