Headline: Zendaya felt 'terrified' shooting tennis scenes for Challengers

Caption: In Luca Guadagnino's new drama, the Dune actress plays Tashi, a tennis ace-turned-coach who becomes involved in a love triangle with her husband and ex-boyfriend, played by Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor, respectively. The 26-year-old spent three months in tennis training for the role and admitted to Elle magazine that it was scary pretending to play like a pro in front of a huge tournament-style crowd. "The more I had to pretend to do tennis in front of a camera with an audience, the more terrified I felt. And I was not even using a real ball."
