Tennis is a widely popular sport. However, it is still not something regarded in the pop culture. Now, that is about to change. Challengers is an upcoming movie about tennis that will also involve elements of romance and drama. The movie is star-studded and has all the elements a mainstream success could need. But Zendaya being in the lead role has all the attention. Fans on Twitter went wild when they heard about how the test screening of the movie scored positively.

There have been a few other tennis movies that have gone unnoticed in the past. ‘Players’ was a tennis movie which had none other than John McEnroe as a part of the cast. The movie did not perform well in the box office. The cast of ‘Challengers’ will be hoping to avoid a similar outcome.

Tennis fans go gaga over the upcoming Zendaya-starrer

Challengers is a movie that will include love, drama, dedication and more. Anyone who loves watching movies will definitely love ‘Challengers’. But the cast of the movie has also caught a lot of eyes. A recent announcement on Twitter stated that the movie went for test screening in front of a random crowd. The results from the test screening were highly positive, which increased the popularity of the movie even more.

“Luca Guadagnino’s ‘CHALLENGERS’ test screened last night to positive reactions. Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor star,” stated the announcement from the Twitter account, Cinema Solace.
