Now 86, Bollettieri is a living legend. At his academy in Florida, he raised a generation of champions: Courier, Monica Seles, Andre Agassi and many more. No other coach has matched his success, his dominance or his fame. His greatness, though, came at a price. Eight marriages, financial upheaval and a dramatic break with his surrogate son and cherished student, Andre Agassi. LOVE MEANS ZERO tells the intimate and complex story of how Bollettieri became arguably the most famous tennis coach of all time.
A Kilo Films production, LOVE MEANS ZERO is produced and directed by Jason Kohn (Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)). Amanda Branson Gill, Anne White, Jill Mazursky and David Styne also serve as producers.
