What can we expect from Challengers Releasing?
“Challengers” dives into the world of professional tennis, following the story of Tashi (played by Zendaya), a former player who has transitioned into coaching. Her focus is on her husband, Art (Mike Faist), a once-mediocre player she has transformed into a Grand Slam champion.
However, Art finds himself struggling with a recent losing streak. In an attempt to jolt him back into form, Tashi makes a bold decision. She enters Art into a “Challenger” event – a relatively low-level tournament compared to the prestigious Grand Slams.
Here, Art finds himself face-to-face with Patrick (Josh O’Connor), a former rising star whose career has taken a nosedive. The twist? Patrick is not only Art’s former best friend but also Tashi’s ex-boyfriend. This unexpected encounter ignites a web of complex emotions. Old flames flicker, competitive tensions rise, and both careers and personal lives hang in the balance.
Following are a few theories worth talking about:

- The film will delve into the challenges athletes face as they strive for success, along with the personal growth that comes with overcoming adversity.
