The titular Challengers competition was fierce and exciting, propelled by Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor’s irresistible score.
Who better to celebrate the tennis-playing trio than two-time U.S. Open and two-time Australian Open winner Naomi Osaka?

The cultural impact ofChallengerswas undeniable this year.
I cant remember a time when tennis culture was so at the forefront of pop culture.
Tashis passion and ambition for the game was very relatable.
She wanted so badly to win, as I and so many others on tour do.
Its certainly something Ive struggled with over the years.
There are characteristics of Tashi, Art, and Patrick in most professional tennis players.
I also enjoyed how the coach-to-player relationship was explored, which I dont feel is done often.
