Game, set, fashion match.

Zendaya took her dedication to tennis to the next level while promoting her new movie “Challengers” in Rome, Italy, wearing a pair of white pumps with actual tennis balls attached to the heel.

The “Dune” star, 27, wore a plunging silver Loewe dress with the special heels as she posed for photos on an Italian rooftop, joining co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist for the shoot.

Her sparkly drop-waisted dress was a custom creation from the Spanish fashion house featuring a tennis-ready pleated skirt and black striped trim.

The “Greatest Showman” actress — who plays a tennis coach caught in a love triangle between her husband and their former friend in the movie — kept the sporty vibes going with her white pumps, which included Loewe logo tennis balls attached to the towering heels.

She wore her freshly dyed blond hair pulled half-up with the bottom flipped out, accessorizing with silver earrings and several bangle bracelets.

Hot off the heels of their out-of-this-world “Dune: Part Two” press tour, the “Euphoria” star and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, have put together plenty of on-the-nose looks to promote “Challengers.”
