First opportunity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opening

This clue is a double definition.

'first' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'opportunity' is the second definition.
(I know that opening is a type of opportunity)

(Other definitions for opening that I've seen before include "First -- beginning" , "Aperture or opportunity" , "Yawning" , "Aperture or first night" , "Space, gap; beginning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
