Nick Bollettieri changed tennis coaching and new documentary pulls back the curtain on the Hall of Fame coach's life and career.

Love Means Zero, the new documentary on Bollettieri, will air on Showtime on Saturday, June 23rd at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Watch: Hewitt, Kyrgios Partner

From Showtime Documentary Films, Love Means Zero features interviews with his former students and tennis prodigies, including Jim Courier, Kathleen Horvath, Carling Bassett and Boris Becker.

The documentary made its world premiere to critical acclaim at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.

The 86-year-old Bollettieri is one of the sport's most accomplished coaches.

Bollettieri coached Andre Agassi, Jimmy Arias, Boris Becker, Jim Courier, Monica Seles, Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova, Tommy Haas, Xavier Malisse, Max Mirnyi and Jelena Jankovic among others.

Success though, came at a price. Eight marriages, financial upheaval and a dramatic break with his surrogate son and cherished student, Agassi, are all part of Bollettieri's complex and controversial story.
