Zendaya criticized for tennis player role, returning for Euphoria season 3?

Fans of actress Zendaya are divided over her portrayal of a professional tennis player in the upcoming film "Challengers" based on the film's trailer. Critics have cited the actress' lack of respect in playing the role by not holding the tennis racket properly. Social influencer Hannah Berner spoke out against the film, comparing it to a football movie where the star throws the ball incorrectly. As a former tennis player, she called it disrespectful to women in the sport. The film follows the story of former tennis player turned coach, Tashi Duncan, played by Zendaya, as she tries to turn her husband, Art Donalson, played by Mike Faist, into a tennis star and compete in a challenge against her ex-boyfriend. During the premiere of the film in Los Angeles, Zendaya donned a dress inspired by the film. She also commented on her potential return for the third season of the series "Euphoria" but stated that she cannot promise anything as it is beyond her control.
