Conducted out of Wimbledon (3)
I believe the answer is:
led
'conducted' is the definition.
('lead' can be a synonym of 'conduct')
'out of wimbledon' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates a hidden word.
'LED' is hidden within 'wimbledon'.
(Other definitions for led that I've seen before include "Emitter of light" , "Went first to show the way" , "Conducted" , "showed the way ahead" , "Went at the head of others" .)
