Court with two balls? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woo

'court' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'with two balls?' is the wordplay.
'two balls?' means two replacements for 'ball'.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'ball' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ball).
'ball' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ball).
'w'+'o'+'o'='WOO'

(Other definitions for woo that I've seen before include "Court, seek to marry" , "Pay court to" , "Try to attract" , "Court a lady" , "Court (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
