If I hadn't heard about Andre Agassi's autobiography I'd read this tweet as a joke, but now I'm not sure any more.
Elaborate please
Andre Agassi famously admitted he hates tennis. Apart from playing professionally he had no interest in the sport whatsoever.
I hate my job too
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.
