Court hero illustrating hives in colour (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
arthur ashe
'court hero' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'illustrating hives in colour' is the wordplay.
'illustrating' becomes 'art' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'hives' becomes 'rash' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'colour' becomes 'hue' (I've seen this before).
'rash' placed inside 'hue' is 'hurashe'.
'art'+'hurashe'='ARTHUR ASHE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
