NEW YORK - How sexy can a qualifying tennis tournament in New Rochelle, New York, be? When the on-court drama involves Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist, the answer turns out to be quite a bit more than your average USTA singles match in Luca Guadagnino's “Challengers.
It's a big-screen statement especially for Zendaya, who's also a producer on the film. She plays Tashi, the wife and coach of tennis superstar Art . Tashi was only relegated to the sidelines because of a career-ending knee injury - though it did little to sap her ambition. When Art, whose passion for tennis is fading, is matched in New Rochelle against an old friend, Patrick , their complicated past is, deliciously, resurrected.
“What's special is that the three of us got to lead the movie. That is cool,” says O'Connor. “An opportunity to do something like that is so rare.” Faist, O'Connor and Zendaya all connected in different ways not just to how desire ebbs and flows but to how the characters are each juggling their fluctuating passions with their careers.
