Asian pressing suit has to fail (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shiatsu

'asian pressing' is the definition.
(shiatsu is a type of Japanese massage)

'suit has to fail' is the wordplay.
'to fail' indicates anagramming the letters (letters go wrong or fail).
'suit'+'has'='suithas'
'suithas' is an anagram of 'SHIATSU'.

(Other definitions for shiatsu that I've seen before include "Treatment involving finger pressure at specific points" , "Japanese therapy that uses acupressure" , "Touchy-feely service" , "Japanese healing massage technique" , "Massage therapy using pressure points" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
