A bad one is your fault (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serve

(Other definitions for serve that I've seen before include "Work for; tennis stroke" , "Work for, be of use to" , "Milton 'They also . . . . . who only stand and wait'" , "Perform duties for" , "Commence play in tennis" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
