Andy Murray admits he’s not one to make grand gestures on Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give that special someone a gift this Saturday. Forgo the traditional chocolates and roses for something that’s more up your tennis player’s alley. This is the official tennis player’s guide to February 14.
Game, Set, Mood Music
“Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)” by Enrique Iglesias — Listen to the romantic sound of bouncing table tennis balls in the background of this ballad by Enrique Iglesias, retired tennis star Anna Kurnikova’s love.
“Let Me Love You” by Mario — There’s definitely a double entendre here. Mario is singing first and foremost about how you should allow him to win 6-0.
