What Is Challengers All About?
In Justin Kuritzkes’ “Challengers,” Zendaya plays professional tennis player Tashi, whose career path drastically changes following a career-ending injury. After making the switch from player to coach, Tashi tries to get her average husband back to the top of the game. But after a series of setbacks, their quest takes an unexpected turn.
Tashi enters a lower-tier competition in an attempt to restart her husband’s success, unintentionally bringing him back together with his ex-boyfriend and old best buddy.
A compelling story examining themes of ambition, loyalty, and the intricacies of relationships against the backdrop of professional sports was set in motion by the subsequent love triangle and competitive fervour.
