"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no sport more romantic than tennis. It is the Cupid of sports. In what other sport do you start at \"love\"? Love gets bandied about constantly. The players are constantly trying to win love games or love sets, and when all is said and done, everyone congregates at the net for a little hug and a kiss. Well, unless you're Tomas Berdych.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So here are some tennis valentines to share with that special someone in your life, whether it be a husband, wife, significant other or the person with whom you share the holiest of unions: your doubles partner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Michal Cizak/AFP/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi&lt;/strong&gt; -- Thanks for sticking by me through thick and thin.

Show me how you really feel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;****&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Julien Finney/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/strong&gt; -- Your love is better than ice cream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;****&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Jorge Ferrari/AFP/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maria Sharapova and Lindsay Davenport&lt;/strong&gt; -- Girl, you melt the Cold War in my heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;****&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Christof Stache/AFP/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nikolay Davydenko&lt;/strong&gt; -- I know you're not a material girl, but that doesn't mean you're not allowed to have nice things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;****&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Petra Kvitova&lt;/strong&gt; -- Dear Valentine: Congratulations.
