My first attempt at a CRYPT

Down under Clay, without I, in Vienna (9)

AUSTR AL(i) IA

Down under = direct = Australia

Clay = Ali (Cassius Clay : Muhammad Ali) ; Ali without I = Al

Austria = in Vienna : ILLEGAL!
Like, Washington is not synonym of USA...
"in European country" would be ok

Ok you got it!
...and I will learn how to write clues properly!
