From Times cryptic No 28,638:

9a what ace is in lap literally, an all-time champion? (6-7)

I have a lot of letters - "R?c?r?-b?e?k?r" - I guess it must be Record-breaker, but can't figure for the life of me see how to parse the cryptic part. Any ideas gratefully received!

The A, ace, inside Lap gives us LP, record, so Record Breaker...

Thanks! My wife had to explain your explanation to me, so I'm neither the smartest in this thread nor in this room :)
Thanks, Digby, I'm used to A, Ace, in games of cards but I should have realised it might not be so familiar to everyone.

Oh don't worry, your explanation was fine (I actually play a lot of bridge!) - I was just being slow :)
Thanks, digby431 - and it's not disastrous if your/our brains are slow occasionally!
