SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Challengers has quite the ending, with Art and Patrick going toe-to-toe in an intense tennis match while Tashi watches from the sidelines. Everything is riding on the former friends’ match, which will determine several elements of their lives simultaneously. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Challengers’ cast includes Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor, who bring their characters’ scintillating drama to the forefront.

But the fact that Patrick revealed a secret to Art, as though they were old friends again, and they knew they were both drawn into Tashi’s gravitational pull, brought out their old feelings of camaraderie. Their real life-inspired Challengers match likely reminded them of when they used to play tennis together before meeting Tashi, but Patrick’s honesty regarding his relationship with Tashi allowed Art to pull back and realize what he’d lost when it came to his relationship with Patrick.

Rather, Patrick believed the information would anger Art and push him over the edge. It’s possible Patrick was trying to win the game, after all, to convince Tashi that she should coach him instead of her husband. Either way, Art learning that Tashi had cheated on him with his ex-friend changes things. With Tashi having told Art she’d leave him if he didn’t win, it could be that Art will be the one to walk away from their relationship now that he knows the truth.

Tashi was a tennis prodigy, and she was, in some ways, living vicariously through Art’s tennis career. Tashi was deeply devoted to tennis — more than anything else in her life. If Art wasn’t the best at tennis, that affected Tashi’s status and ranking as well. She pushed him so they could both look good. For Tashi, Art not being up to par at tennis made her feel less affectionate towards him.

Rather, it’s possible Art and Patrick will return to being friends, and Art can finally retire from tennis knowing Tashi can coach Patrick instead. The trio may finally let go of the past and move forward without playing physical and mind games with each other. Tashi could still leave Art to work with Patrick, but it might be a clean break for her and Art considering she was honest with him about her waning interest. Art could retire in peace without having to worry about tennis anymore.
