Tashi, once a tennis player herself, has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him from an average player to a globally renowned Grand Slam champion
Challengers, the latest creation from visionary director Luca Guadagnino. Starring Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a powerhouse coach with an unapologetic approach to both the game and life itself. She's not just a former tennis prodigy; she's a force of nature on and off the court. Tashi is married to a once-great champion, portrayed by Mike Faist (West Side Story) who's now grappling with a losing streak.
In a twist of fate, Tashi's plan for her husband's comeback takes an unexpected turn when he faces off against Patrick (played by Josh O'Connor of The Crown) – his former best friend and Tashi's ex-boyfriend, now washed-up. As their intertwined histories unravel and tensions escalate, Tashi confronts herself with a question, what will it cost to win?
