Andy Roddick has congratulated Zendaya over a major win obtained by the "Challengers" movie. Through the official Instagram profile of the Served with Andy Roddick podcast, the tennis player congratulated the actress over "Challengers" winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Score. The music of the movie was composed by Trent Raznor and Atticus Ross.

"Challengers" tells the story of three professional tennis players involved in a passionate love triangle. Zendaya portrays the character known as Tashi Duncan, a young player with plenty of potential who has to abandon her goals due to an unfortunate injury. The other players involved in the dramatic relationship are played by Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist.

The Golden Globes are given out during a prestigious ceremony that is a part of what is known in the entertainment industry as the awards circuit. The ceremony is meant to recognize the best across film and television from the past year, which is why "Challengers" was nominated in various categories.

Andy Roddick praised the success of "Challengers" due to the movie's connection to professional tennis. The main traits of the characters are explained through their relationship with the sport, with Tashi, Art and Patrick having different levels of ambition for what they want to achieve in the fictional versions of the ATP and WTA circuits.
