The verdicts are out: both audiences and critics are digging Challengers, directed by Luca Guadagnino and starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor. The leading lady portrays Tashi, a tennis pro who ends up permanently sidelined from her career after a nasty injury. Fast forward some years, and she’s married to Art (Faist) when Patrick (O’Connor) reenters the picture as his tennis rival, and tension not only rises professionally but personally, too.
