Hit single by popular tenor and Love (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
run into
'hit' is the definition.
(I know that hit can be written as run into)
'single by popular tenor and love' is the wordplay.
'single by' becomes 'run' (cricket. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'tenor' becomes 't'.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'run'+'in'+'t'+'o'='RUN INTO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for run into that I've seen before include "Happen to meet - with a bump?" , "'Meet by chance (3,4)'" , "charge?" , "Meet accidentally on the trot?" , "Encounter by chance - or collision?" .)
