Meanwhile, the trailer gives a sneak peek of how teenage tennis prodigy Tashi Donaldson’s (Zendaya) life takes an unexpected turn after an injury ends her career. As teenagers, Tashi engages in a steamy threesome with best friends Art (Faist) and Patrick (O’Connor), who are both up-and-coming male tennis players.
After ending her career as a tennis player early due to the injury, Tashi becomes her husband Art’s coach. Art then faces a losing streak, leading to Tashi forcing him to enter a Challenger event. There, Art must compete against his former best friend Patrick, who is his Tashi’s ex.
