Reporter: Katie Couric
Producer: Harry Radliffe

What was he thinking? Until a few weeks ago, Andre Agassi was a sporting legend — one of the most respected tennis players ever.

Then a bombshell — a stunningly candid autobiography in which Agassi openly admits to taking the drug ice.

What's more, when caught out, he lied to authorities about his drug use — and got away with it.

But perhaps most stunning of all is Agassi's revelation that he hated tennis — yes, hated the game that earned him more than 100 million dollars.

It’s startling stuff coming from one of the greats of the game, whose personal style and relentless drive changed tennis.

Katie Couric caught up with Agassi at a place he doesn't visit very often any more — a tennis court.
