The Guardian

Challengers is terrifically absorbing and funny, with zinging extended dialogue rallies – though its cop-out ending fudges what we all know about tennis.

Collider

Challengers is a wild love triangle story, punctuated by three excellent performances and tremendous talent behind the camera.

IGN

Challengers is physically sexy too. It's the hottest, sweatiest film any American studio is likely to release this year, with charged, muscular lunges on the court.

"Challengers is a kinetic, fast-paced ride that captures the human drama both on and off the court in an engaging manner."

Based on the reviews, Zendaya thrills in her first proper lead role that wildly combines the world of tennis and a hot and sexy love triangle that spans years.
