It's all right to love a girl (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

okay

'it's all right' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'love a girl' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'a girl' becomes 'kay' ().
'o'+'kay'='OKAY'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for okay that I've seen before include "Permissible; fairly good" , "Leave" , "All right; sanction" , "Satisfactory; permissible" , "Passable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
