Zendaya is taking on a new challenge: tennis pro in Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers.

In the film, the 27-year-old, beauty plays Tashi Duncan, a once promising tennis star, relegated to the sidelines coaching her tennis pro husband Art (played by Mike Faist) after a career-ending knee injury.

To prep for the role, Zendaya trained for three months with tennis pro Brad Gilbert. She told HipHollywood she still sucks at tennis but is happy she stepped outside her comport zone for the role.

“I am glad for the challenge. I’m grateful for it,” she said sitting alongside co-stars Faist and Josh O’Connor. “I think I learned a lot creatively from Justin, from Luca, but also from these guys, too. I think watching them perform and what they brought to their characters and the choices that they made. I think there’s so much I learned.”

She also showed us the scar she got on her ankle during filming and shared which Williams Sister she’d want to play doubles with. Check it out.

Challengers hits theaters April 26.
