Farewell broadcast of tennis lovers (10)

I believe the answer is:

valentines

'lovers' is the definition.
(valentine is a kind of lover)

'farewell broadcast of tennis' is the wordplay.
'farewell' becomes 'vale' ('vale' is a Latin farewell).
'broadcast of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'broadcast' mean this (letters scattered or cast around)).
'tennis' is an anagram of 'ntines'.
'vale'+'ntines'='VALENTINES'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
