'sports tournament' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'wife one's enticed to follow british' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'one's' becomes 'I'm' ('one is' is a formal way of saying 'I am').
'enticed' becomes 'ledon' (leading on is a kind of enticing).
'to follow' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go after or follow others).
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'ledon' put after 'b' is 'bledon'.
'w'+'im'+'bledon'='WIMBLEDON'
