Challengers- zendaya as a tennis athlete

[Anonymous]

Sorry. Loved her cute waifish tennis patterned high fashion dresses 👗 n various red carpets but it will be very difficult to take her as a serious, ranked athlete unless she gained 20 pounds of actual muscle.

Who cast this?

It’s distracting and too fake. She looks anorexic.

Maybe she’ll sell more tickets sure, but she’s a total lightweight to be playing an athlete. Should have done what the williams sister/will smith movie casting route - at least pick someone more believable as a tennis pro.

The two effeminate euro actors don’t help the tennis theme either.

I assume it’s just a high drama ménage a trois movie, mostly non tennis scenes.

Movie looks weird. It’ll bomb.

It’s artsy fartsy. Like Lolita or y Tu mama tambien.

And not for young kids! This is not a Caitlyn clark or Serena williams plot.

You are spot on about how she is all wrong for the role of an athlete. Her back muscles especially are non-existent. It is impossible to play good tennis without decent lats (latissimus dorsi).

It’s a commentary on how far Hollywood still has to go. They never would have cast an athlete female in this role since she would be too muscular for the tastes of the casting directors. So they cast someone who looks like she would be unable to generate any level of power or stamina. And assumed we’d all be too dumb to even notice.

The trailer looks bad and yes, she's emaciated.

I agree this looks terrible! How can this good such good reviews?

You are pitiful OP to complain before you've even seen the movie. I am seeing it today at 4

She looks ill and severely underweight at all her recent events and in the movie shots.
I hope she’s OK.

Trailer sux. It’s film festival food. And cast for that broken fetish angle.

[Anonymous]

lol what a stupid looking movie

TikTok is full of tennis players making fun of how hard it would be play tennis with her lack of muscle.

She needed to eat and workout for this kind of role. She looks like the wind could blow her over.

I read about this movie and saw the photos and interviews. LV tennis dresses, tiny racquets on a white down, neon yellow pants suits.
I wondered WTF is zendaya wearing tennis stuff so goofy?! Maybe she is dating a pro?

Nope. It was for some tennis love triangle movie. Yet all i thought was how tiny she is and how bad her grip and game would be.

This movie is an insult to women’s tennis.

For starters she’d run out of calories to burn in 10 minutes.
