"Call Me By Your Man" director Luca Guadagnino is back with another love story.

As reported by Variety, Guadagnino's latest film "Challengers" sees Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist in a sexy tennis love triangle.

According to the film's synopsis, Zendaya stars as Tashi, a pro tennis player who with her tennis playing husband Art (Faist) reunites with a formal rival and lover in Patrick (O'Connor). When Art and Patrick both decide to enter the Challengers tournament, an old rivalry and chemistry is ignited once again. The kicker is all of them knew each other as teenagers and not much has changed about their behavior on and off the court.

According to Guadagnino, Zendaya trained for three months with pro tennis coach and former player Brad Gilbert to prepare for the role. Gilbert also reportedly served as a consultant on the film.

"'Spider-Man: No Way Home' producer Amy Pascal serves as a producer on the film, alongside Guadagnino and executive producer Bernard Bellew," Variety reports.
