As Challengers hits cinemas, GLAMOUR explores why Zendaya's Tashi is the unlikeable female character we needed.
There's a moment towards the end of Luca Guadagnino's Challengers where Zendaya 's Tashi stonily tells her husband, Art that she will leave him if he loses his tennis match the following day. It's a cruel manoeuvre, as violently aggressive as a thunderous forehand down the line. Tashi was a tennis prodigy in her teens whose career ground to a halt after a horrific injury, but emotionally, she's still out on the courts — and she plays a cruel, unsparing game.
Tashi's only way to feel the thrill of whacking the ball to an opponent who can return it is through her cruel gameplay with Art and Patrick. As a coach, she wants to see her husband play with the same verve and passion that she once did — and if she has to use manipulation to get him there, she will.
