He can be made to burn with love (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bruno

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

'he' is the definition.

'made to burn with love' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'burn' is an anagram of 'brun'.
'brun'+'o'='BRUNO'

'can be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bruno that I've seen before include "One of the 22 [FRANKS] who fought" , "Famous boxer" , "Giordano -; Sylvie and -, Carroll" , "Sylvie and -- (Lewis Carroll)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
