In “Challengers,” Zendaya’s “inspired” character is honored by Naomi Osaka
Tennis player Naomi Osaka used TikTok to emulate Zendaya’s Tashi Duncan, who appears in the popular love drama “Challengers.”
The tennis player posted a TikTok with the message, “No one: Me after watching Challengers,” while donning sunglasses and whirling her racket. The suspenseful soundtrack from the movie was playing in the background.
At a press conference, screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes said that Osaka’s triumph over Serena Williams at the 2018 US Open served as the inspiration for the plot of “Challengers.”
Luca Guadagnino’s film revolves around the intense dynamics between two former best friends competing in a high-stakes tennis tournament.
Fans are speculating that Tashi Duncan’s famous “I TOLD YA” T-shirt may become the next “Challengers” craze that Osaka adopts.
