To listen to terrible cheat brings grief (9)
I believe the answer is:
heartache
'grief' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to listen to terrible cheat' is the wordplay.
'to listen to' becomes 'hear' (I've seen this before).
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cheat' anagrammed gives 'tache'.
'hear'+'tache'='HEARTACHE'
'brings' is the link.
(Other definitions for heartache that I've seen before include "it gives rise to anguish" , "Emotional distress" , "Extreme emotional pain" , "expression of sorrow" , "mental anguish!" .)
