‘Challengers’ follows the story of Tashi Duncan, played by Zendaya, a former tennis prodigy who has now made her mark as a coach. The film delves into her life as she grapples with both professional and personal challenges. Tashi is in marital relationship with a tennis star, portrayed by Mike Faist, who is struggling with a losing streak.

As the tension builds on the court, old wounds resurface, creating a gripping narrative about ambition, love, and the true cost of winning.
