Zendaya to feature in a tennis movie called Challengers.

The Euphoria and Spider–Man star Zendaya along with The Crown star Josh O’Connor and with Broadway artist Mike Faist is set to star in Challengers. The movie has Luca Guadagnino as the director. In a red carpet interview at the BAFTA Awards, Faist confirmed that he would be joining Zendaya and O’Connor. The film’s pre-production set to begin in Boston.

The movie will take place on a backdrop analogous to the ATP Challenger Tour. The ATP tour which puts itself as “the stepping stone to the ATP Tour”. It is the tournament which players look to boost their rankings or break out of the ITF circuit. It is a fight for precious points every week at Challenger events around the world.

The plot of Challengers follows Tashi, a tennis player-turned-coach. She takes her husband, Art and transforms him from a mediocre player into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. Following Art’s recent losing streak, Tashi makes him play a ‘Challenger’ event which is close to the lowest tournament level on the pro tour. There he finds himself facing off against his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend, Patrick, leading to old rivalries being reignited on and off the court.
