The fact that she is a dancer is why she makes it look so easy. I was a dancer for years, and I can tell you, this is just another day of learning choreography for her.
@@myerklamb8529 but not that bad actually just needs to fix 2 things 1. change grip to continental 2. racquet head drop when initiating swing (i.e. lead swing with elbow)
You know she’s taking in how she acts before the swing and how she moves afterwards. I’m glad she has this study period. What an interesting job she has.
@@player00024A lot of things go into roles that aren’t really in the scope of their experience. Especially in sports they’ve never played. They train with professionals to properly mimic what actually happens. Yes, it’s acting, but it’s a lot of studying as well
@@richcampbell6808 I am also a very good tennis player. She obviously doesn't play tennis at all given her serve grip. For being an obvious total beginner, her footwork is quite good.
@@richcampbell6808 Have you noticed that she is only looking at the feet of the stunt double? It is clearly a proces where this run through is focusing mainly on footwork…
@@rayasversionAs a tennis player since I was 4 years old I also doubt that she could do better than this tennis player who has been playing for 20 years, and the footwork is mediocre at best.
i think being a dancer really helped her here!! being able to watch the stunt double’s movements and know how to control each part of her body in an almost identical motion is so so impressive
@@gracerodhouse2695 lol Zendaya is not a dancer... She WAS. 🤣😂 doesn't mean she still is... stop over glorifying her, she has zero presence in dance globally rn... less than a kpop idol. Literally
@@AirbornSoul013 im not “over glorifying”, im simply stating one of the various obvious skills she has. you clearly don’t understand what it means to be a dancer… you learn how to control parts of your body in a certain way that has to be learned over years of experience and practice. plenty of dancers who don’t actually dance professionally anymore can do this type of thing… she just happens to be able to use it usefully in her current job!! literally no need to be rude lol
Honestly cool to see her learn the overall motion but I'm surprised no one fixed her not looking up at the ball for her serve. Saw the trailer with that one still photo of her serving and her head somehow pointed the wrong direction lol
Super cool and impressive. One dead giveaway no tennis player would miss though - the split step before the next shot. You can see stunt double makes no such mistake.
Wow! Looks really convincing. I think the only thing I’d say is the grip position for her serve maybe should be different versus her forehand and she’s holding the racket a little high on the grip, but even then that’s player preference. Nice job!
Watching Zendaya dance as a child it has always seemed to me that she is an athletic and coordinated person to begin with. I believe she could play some really good tennis if she actually wanted to. She needs to hold her left arm vertical longer after tossing the ball on serve; don't let that left arm that's doing the tossing drop until you've begun exploding with your legs upwards
c'mon, we can't be too critical of her serve motion as we know how rec players look :-) but her FEET...i believe i could work w/ her and make her my mxd partner w/in a year, maybe under. she has the all-important athletic agility :-)
@medicallymo English isn't everyone's first language and also just because your dad does this to you doesn't mean you also have to be a pedantic twat.
what? this was #1 at the box office opening weekend and so far it’s Luca Guadagnino’s most successful movie ever. He’s never had a film do more than $50M and this is heading to $100M+ lol
She has either an eastern or semi western grip (which is good for the forehand, but not the serve) instead of a continental which is why it looks like that
Her follow through on the forehand looks very good, the footwork very good. Needs to practice the serve motion, but that is, in my opinion, the hardest part of the game. She needs to get a bucket of balls and just start hitting serves to make it look polished.
Yeah except she doesn’t want to be an actress, she still wants plays and competes in tennis. I think it would be hard to find anyone who is great at tennis who didn’t just want to be a tennis player
Whew… Man, it’s a good thing our nation pays entertainment celebrities upwards of 70% more than any other celebrity in any other nation, right? I mean god forbid we lose this valuable imagery of zendaya, an actress preparing for her highly challenging acting job, in order to pay some pathetic untrained career in teaching or nursing. Really, just any other low-level American job - as deemed by the corporate scum
Open racquet face on the back swing is fine. Only the serve's grip is to be reviewed. Maybe also her legs when she pushes forward on the serve, but it's not something that can be taught easily.
she could stand to “feel the weight of the racket” a bit more in her serve, so as to make it come down more by the force of gravity, and not force it or try to stop it on its way down. the forehand looked really solid though!
duuuude....that stutter is AWESOME. i try to teach some of my mxd teammates this and they can't do it, b/c it actually makes them off balance b/c they can't coordinate their feet :-)
The fact that she is a dancer is why she makes it look so easy. I was a dancer for years, and I can tell you, this is just another day of learning choreography for her.
Make sense
It didn't look that good but better than other movies
Well she’s not actually playing tennis. So yeah I agree with the comparison
Came here to comment something similar. Dance is life!
@@youngsuitbut she definitely picked it up better than most actors and actresses would.
the forehand actually looks believable
The serve not so much lol
@@myerklamb8529
but not that bad actually
just needs to fix 2 things
1. change grip to continental
2. racquet head drop when initiating swing (i.e. lead swing with elbow)
If she's never played tennis, looks pretty great for just a movie. More dedication than in a lot of sports movies
So correct. That was the thing I noticed too 😃
Agreed lol - they cut the serve into 3 frames and we’ll mostly see it going in lol
You know she’s taking in how she acts before the swing and how she moves afterwards. I’m glad she has this study period. What an interesting job she has.
Hmmm
Literally every actor before they act in a role

Zendaya playing wii sports irl
So... just sports then
@@Bkaylats except she isn't playing??? Just mimicking the movements
lol that’s what i thought too seeing the two in sync and only one actually hitting the ball
Lol I'm glad someone said it

The way i was actually trying to copy both of them and hit my leg on the table😭😭
I hope your table is ok!
Kidding! I hit my hand on my light as well! And i hope your ok :)
😂😂
Sorry for you
😂😂
I was not expecting this. Thank you! 😂😂😂💀🪦
Damn, her footwork is great.
I believe she used to dance
that could have contributed to the foot speed
I teach tennis. Played college tennis . She has average footwork and the serve motion is the worst .

When asked about her biggest inspiration for the part, she named her stunt double
❤️
That’s so amazing love that 🥺🥺🥺🥺😆thank you
That footwork is actually quite good

THIS ACTRESS IS A GIFTED CHILD !!
She’s a full grown woman

A child that's 28

Seriously how does **anyone** find Zendaya hot?
@@devonkennedy1386 idk personally i don’t

She's matching her

Search Sofia kenin, she doesn’t look up when she serves
@@Cmi1267 she 1000% does look at her serve. Maybe for a quick second she doesnt look at her toss
@@Cmi1267 she does start looking down yes, but when she’s ready to make contact then she looks up. Zendaya is just looking the other direction lol
Zendaya is looking at the other person!!
She’s trying to copy her
@@mradelphi02 nah I mean in the actual trailer for the poster scene around 19 seconds in
That’s not a stunt double that’s likely a professional tennis player who Zendaya is copying for filming
She's both. She's a former tennis athlete and Zendaya's stunt double. Her name is Kara Hall and she has done interviews on the process.
As a tennis player, I’m impressed!! Go Zendaya!!!
Her being a dancer definitely helps a ton. Dancers have to have each movement down perfectly in order for the dance to be sychronized with the others
Stunt doubles do so much of the work
This looks easy but it absolutely took a lot of practice to get her here where she's almost in unison with the tennis player.
She honestly nailed the role especially the injury scene ❤
You know, some actors are just really good mimics (I mean that in a positive way).
As a real tennis player, her footwork is really good
that tip toeing it's just so perfectly imitated, Zendaya is truly one of the best
I have never seen someone act tennis so good and make kt look so easy
Because nobody acts tennis without hitting a ball…
she lowkey ate that up like they were almost in sync
Thw little tennis rackets-high-five is so cute❤
Super cool and impressive. One dead giveaway no tennis player would miss though - the split step before the next shot. You can see stunt double makes no such mistake.
being zendaya stunt double has to be the biggest compliment ever
I walk past women on the street everyday who are much better looking than her. She’s like a solid 7
Wow! Looks really convincing. I think the only thing I’d say is the grip position for her serve maybe should be different versus her forehand and she’s holding the racket a little high on the grip, but even then that’s player preference. Nice job!
The sound of the ball hitting the racket makes my brain go silent it’s such a good sound
they looked so good
The coordination 🤌🤌
Wow, that’s very good coordination.
That actually looks so epic! I really like looking behind the scenes with stunts people! So cool!
Watching Zendaya dance as a child it has always seemed to me that she is an athletic and coordinated person to begin with. I believe she could play some really good tennis if she actually wanted to.

but her FEET...i believe i could work w/ her and make her my mxd partner w/in a year, maybe under.
she has the all-important athletic agility :-)
That leg lol, but everything else is looking great
So synchronized 😮 Always love zendaya!!!💜💜
Nice job Zendaya, she's on point with her!
Wow! zendaya is so good, the way she’s throwing her leg to the side and perfectly mirroring is so impressive!
What
When Serena Williams saw Zendaya she said "Love the film but i know a real tennis ball wasn't used". Obviously a champ would know right 💯
The synchonization is so insane
Someone to tell she doesn't have the right serve grip!
That's why they didn't give her a ball... 😂
Was gonna say let’s see how she hits a ball
I hope this is only the early stages of her training. It’s pretty good if it is.
@Kompact-vt9dmyeah right
@Kompact-vt9dm Becker didn't use that grip.
once I saw her say she just pretends it’s a dance the way she’s moving makes so much sense
Why did her fans not support this movie?
Their not real fans
@@berthapegues3292 their lmao
* *They’re* *

The forehand and the footwork were really good. The serve was horrendous though.

most complicated stroke, so yeah I give her pass since the rest is just... amazingly good.
That serve is still far better than most recreational players real serves.
Was about to c9mment the same exact thing. Gpod thing the f8lm was actually great despite that.
@@joerad4722 The rest is pretty far from amazing but certainly better than the serve.
Her follow through on the forehand looks very good, the footwork very good. Needs to practice the serve motion, but that is, in my opinion, the hardest part of the game. She needs to get a bucket of balls and just start hitting serves to make it look polished.
Really good mimicking of her stunt double. Hopefully she would get the serve grip more accurately, then she’d be doing really well.
This is the first piece of media that doesnt allure to the fact that the movie is just about her getting spit roasted
and 1 ALWAYS has to show up. and I shouldn't feed the troll. sorry guys ;-)
Zendaya is one of the queens of acting and nobody can change my mind, every role she has been in she fucking aces it
All the 3.0s in the comments feel good about themselves
Lmaooo
comment made by a snarky 4.5 who thinks he’s good because he beats a bunch of bums at his club 😂
@@rhocloudsa 4.5 sounds a bit generous 😅
@@Mcddung-zo9ux maybe 3.5 then
Someone called Zendaya a child, this young lady will be 28 this September 1st. Please be as respectful as she is to others. Thank you.🎉
Excellent work.
That stunt double should just be the main character
Can she act?
Yeah except she doesn’t want to be an actress, she still wants plays and competes in tennis. I think it would be hard to find anyone who is great at tennis who didn’t just want to be a tennis player
She'd need acting talent first.
I didn't even realize she wasn't hitting anything, it looked very believable😂
It’s better and more credible than the tennis from the Wimbledon movie with Kirsten Dunst.
Yooo what?? That follow-through and run up was amazingly identical
😌Trust me: to Mimic the serving gesture is one thing, to actually serve a valid ball is another...
She's an actress, her job is literally the former of those alone
Zendaya just altered her race
Goddamn this stunt double she s hella good looking
or you could say she’s good at what she does instead of just complimenting her looks like the goblin you are
I would feel so inadequate next to my stunt double if I was in a tennis movie. The grace that woman has
Whew… Man, it’s a good thing our nation pays entertainment celebrities upwards of 70% more than any other celebrity in any other nation, right?

Leave drugs man
Her swing is actually really good 😮
The frying pan serve grip!
that was actually so smooth
Tell her to get rid of the frying pan grip...
The way her legs where moving in the movie while tennis scenes is incredible. Wow
That serve lmao
She's such a beautiful being
Love the Dune movies, but, no plans to ever watch Challengers. Looks terrible.
I could watch Zendaya training/practicing/rehearsing all day long...
ffs just play the damn thing
It looks great! The only difference I see is the power being generated, but that makes sense with a walk through.
Oof...that grip and open racquet face on the back swing. 🤦🏻♂️
she isn’t tennis player😂

Cry harder
guys fun fact, they used the court at my grandparents’ apartment to film part of this movie!
You’re a deadbeat
Her double looks astonishing!
Ngl they look like the characters from Wii sports resort moving in sync XD
It's the little rabbit trap at the end for me. She's just too cute!
The stunt double looks pretty good!
She’s so adorable
I know she’s mimicking the actions but she looks like she could’ve played naturally well even if at social club level. Look at her foot work stutter.
duuuude....that stutter is AWESOME. i try to teach some of my mxd teammates this and they can't do it, b/c it actually makes them off balance b/c they can't coordinate their feet :-)
She just seems like such a sweerheart too 😊
How her matching the stunt double not the other way amazing they're doing so well together beautiful work from such beautiful women
that looks like when you’re playing wii sports and both your mii‘s are moving in sync
She's my favorite actor.
being zendaya’s stunt double would go straight to my head
i cant wait, the trailer was great with a fire soundtrack!
Can you imagine the range of skills actors could have? Think of all the different roles & opportunities to learn something new!
That's some EVANGELION type sync right there
From a tennis player this actually looks pretty good
i feel like if she didn’t act she would’ve been a tennis player. She just has the build and it suits her so much in the movie.
Wow stunt double playing really good
How she tried to touch racquet and the fist bump is usually how i greet people 🤣
Great form and footwork, 👏👏👏!
She looks like she could be a good player. Decent serve and nice pop on her forehand.
Used to play tennis. One of the hardest sports in the world to master.
The service motion looks quite good.
The serve is the most complicated movement in all of sports. Getting it right is extremely hard, even for dedicated tennis players.
