I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'person like roger federer speaking drunkenly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'wish' (synonyms) and 'wish' is found in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
