The plot follows, “Tashi, a former tennis player turned coach, has transformed her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous grand slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a challenger event — close to the lowest level of the tournament on the pro tour. Tensions soon run high when he finds himself standing across the net from the once-promising, now burnt-out Patrick, his former best friend, and Tashi’s former boyfriend.”
Produced by Guadagnino, Rachel O’Connor, Amy Pascal, and Zendaya.
‘Challengers’ is now playing in theaters.
