Being a sports fan it's easy to watch sports themed movies and even though not really a tennis fan(the sport that is the focus of this movie), this film "Challengers" blended enough drama, and passion as it's a love story, a struggle of choice as questions are raised, about love and relationships. Done in flashback and foreshadowing like style methods this tale is of Tashi(the talented and beautiful Zendaya) an up and coming tennis star who's motivated and determined only a lover's triangle forms and she's caught between two male players Art(Mike Faist) and Patrick(Josh O' Connor). And the sparks and passion is served up as one becomes Tashi's boyfriend and the other her husband and an on and off court rival develops. Also it's like a girl just can't make a choice it's a back and fourth changing of the guard for her still, she wants a clear winner it's a racquet ball challenge for love till the end. The on screen chemistry is top notch and the pacing and story draws you in with flashbacks showing the history of the three central characters. Also Zendaya's Tashi character has some eye candy scenes in which she sports sexy colored bras and panties. Overall a well done relationship drama that entertains as it shows how love can serve and the ball bounce and split as a double play for all involved.
