As tennis legend Serena Williams watched Zendaya’s latest movie, Challengers, she began to wonder about the life of another legend: Roger Federer and his marriage to his wife Mirka.
Williams explores how the film accurately portrays the competitive tennis scene in her review for Vogue. She emphasized the relationship between Zendaya’s character, Tashi, and the two significant men in her life: Josh O’Connor, who plays her rival and previous flame, Art (Mike Faist), and Zendaya’s husband, Art.
Williams wrote: “I recognized Art, too. A lot of male tennis players rely on their wives and girlfriends. Just look at someone like Roger Federer; he used to hit with his wife, Mirka, and they were like glue.”
