Art on meeting Tashi.

The reason why Art was willing to sacrifice his longstanding (homoerotic) friendship with Patrick is because Tashi represented a brighter future for him. A future where he would be with someone he idolizes and admires (he spends the entirety of their first meeting talking about how "incredible" her tennis is), that’s taking the same path as him (going to the same college before going pro), and bonus, that person actually believes in him. Tashi chose to kiss him first, and told him "You can beat him, you know that? You should actually". Through Tashi, Art got to live out his fantasy of outcompeting Patrick and it was an opportunity he wanted to hold onto as much as he could. She showed him that there's a version of him in the future that's not content with being second best, content to ask for permission to win. That's why losing that junior's match devastated him, that's why he spent the entirety of Tashi and Patrick's relationship trying to coerce both of them to break up. The interaction Tashi and Art had at the Standford cafeteria lays out the feeling of some else not being able to see the potential you see perfectly "He's not in love with you" "What makes you think I want someone to be in love with me?" "Don't you think you deserve it?".

Art wanted Tashi because through her he could learn how to be a winner, how to be first place.

Art, BPD and Splitting.

It's the way that, prior to meeting Tashi, Art accepted that he will spend the rest of his life playing second fiddle to Patrick. I mean, "I'm already at peace with the fact that you're going to win" is literally the foundation of their dynamic. Art was content to watch himself lose, to be teased by Patrick constantly, because it meant being close to the one person that offered him a sense of identity at the time. He thought Patrick is so cool, so talented, that anything he wanted, Art wanted 10 times more. Patrick wanted to be fire, so Art wanted to be fire (this wasn’t in the actual film, it's a line in the script). Patrick was fantasizing about Kat Zimmerman, so Art asked to be let into that fantasy. Patrick wanted Tashi, so Art wanted Tashi so much it made him sick (he wanted Tashi so much that she became his next FP). You get the gist. Meeting Tashi, another person Art thought was so cool and so talented, made Art see another version of himself, another identity he wanted to consume (Mike's words, not mine). That's what made Patrick slip off the pedestal a bit, but it wasn't until Art felt like Patrick was taunting and humiliating him, with the same traits Art previously wanted for himself mind you, that he fell off completely. You can see this seething anger he has towards Patrick in the sauna scene, anger that has real pain and hurt behind it, the pain of allowing himself to be sidelined by a person he loved. That moment where he told Patrick "It's not about where you come from in tennis Patrick. It's about winning. And I do. A lot" that's him saying "see, I took these things from you and I actually made something of them, something you couldn't do". The "you never grew up so and I'm so mad at you for it, because at a certain point in time, I respected you so much that I wanted to be you".
