After losing first point, nervously receives this? (7)
I believe the answer is:
service
'after losing first point' is the definition.
'service' can be an answer for 'point' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'after losing first' bit.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for service that I've seen before include "duty" , "Set of dishes" , "Waiting" , "army, say" , "See 4" .)
