      Andre Agassi famously admitted he hates tennis. Apart from playing professionally he had no interest in the sport whatsoever.

      Seems very similar to the Tiger Woods arc, showed some promise as a child, overbearing-perhaps-abusive father pushed him into heavy training to become the best in the world, actually succeeded at a young age and made a bunch of money but hated everything about it and got into a destructive lifestyle including drugs, eventually crashing out. The main difference was when Agassi got clean he was able to make a successful return to the game and seemed to have a healthier relationship with the game. But I don’t think he has the kind of love for the game that you hope the greats of a sport have.
