The pinkish, red stuff you see some guys drink is Cytomax; popular with the pro bicyclists. Available at REI stores. I like it; not as sweet as Gatorade.

The red stuff you see is Cytosport -Fast Twitch- Fruit or Power Punch, I have both Cytomax(Tangy Orange) and Fast Twitch(in bound). Fast Twitch comes in several Flavors. Popular in Tennis as well.

Not sure where you're located. Both flavors sold here in So Cal are Cytomax. There is also a grape - not a fan. Enjoy.

What does Fast twitch cytosport do for you during the match ? does it give you the boost of energy you need for your serves or powerful 1st step ? and what is in it ? just protein ?

I liked Cytomax ( orange) for a long time. It does clump a lot and if you do not use the tub fast enough the powder gets rock hard. I switched over to a product I like better. It is called Accelerade- protein -powdered sports drink. It can be found in a lot of bicycle shops. I needed a drink that included some protein as well. Most sports drinks do not. I found , for me, that after about an hour and half of playing I was loosing some steam. I started using this Accelerade and I can play on through for 2-3 hours. The cyclists use this for long distance riding. I really like the taste of the Fruit Punch.
I tried the Cliff drinks but found them sort of tasteless and more expensive as well. I make up a gallon of the Accelerade, put it in the fridge, then fill my drink bottle before I leave to play. So far this stuff works great for me.

No its not just protein tootse, It has a whole host non banned sports supplements, as too energy it helps sustain an energy level for more level performance, it does not put kick in your step. Cytosport is regulated by the FDA and inspected for banned substances regularly

I have Fast twitch and Cytomax made by Cytosport and both use non banned substances, Fast Twitch -Power Punch or Fruit punch and Cytomax is Tangy Orange, much better than other sport drinks, much more thought out than competing sport drinks. lol

I play tennis, and right now, after today, I drink too.

Actually kidding though, I've given up alcohol completely.

I'm not a big fan of most sports drinks, because they usually contain ingredients that are unhealthy, such as fructose, caffeine or soybean oil, etc. My favorite sports drink is to mix in a blender the following: a banana for potassium and to prevent cramps, orange juice for sugar and energy, and protein powder for a good balance of nutrients. Add a pinch of salt for electrolytes if it's a really hot day to prevent cramps. Thin it out with as much cold water and ice as you want. Keeps me functioning on all cylinders thoughout a long match.

I use a mix of BCAA and l-carnitine before the match/training.
During training I drink water mixed with Aptonia ISO+ for replenishing minerals.
After match/training I drink one portion of l-glutamine.

And bananas :)
 
Not really for a marathon. It's been shown that Gatorade will help performance if you exercise for over 2 hours. Less than that, and it doesn't do a whole lot for you. You usually don't need anything but water for a tennis match. If you are sweating a tremendous amount, you may need some electrolytes.
Not so - according to a professor of nutrition who wrote and regretted a book on carb loading.

Usually those studies are conducted on athletes whose body composition, energy needs and fat reserves are very different from the average sports person's. Gatorade may help - or it may screw with your body's insulin.

I saw some players drink sports enegry drink??? Some say it is from hydro drink.... Anyone know who use sports drink to help performance on the court?

Fernando Gonzalez had a Powerade contract. JMDP still has one, I think. Venus did at one point as well (hers was Powerade Zero, but she might've had to give it up since she took up a raw diet).

Serena has a contract with G2.

what does novak drink ?

It looks like Fast Twitch-Power or Fruit punch, you do know he has a nutritionist,yet Fast twitch is a good guess as its free of sports banned substances and inspected as such. The ITF has the list of Tennis banned substances. Yes, I did not know it would be the same color when I got my 2 lbs of Fast Twitch. Fast Twitch Muscles are used in Tennis.............. Slow Twitch Muscles are used by long distance runners, ect.

d idea to follow tennis players down this path unless you yourself are an athlete or train hours a day everyday as those drinks turn to fat if you don't burn all the energy they provide!

This.
Drink in moderation, and only when exercising heavily.

Lucozade orange, sometimes with a bit of bourbon. On our occasional club Friday night **** matches, I'll mix it with whatever random wine they have available in the club house. God bless Ireland.

Murray appropriately drinks Scotch.

Federer enjoys a dry vodka martini of course.

Djokovic enjoys local Slivovitz.

Nadal doesn't drink because Uncle Toni said he shouldn't.

Undisclosed beverages of choice (coffee, Essentuki 17, vodka tonic, etc.) with the sponsor’s label on the bottle.

I also saw RAFA like suck on some kind of Gel out of small packaging. I am assuming it is for energy. Does anyone know what that is ?? and please don't say it is steroids, that is getting old.....

Is Evervit a Good reputable brand ?? and if you drink this energy drink during the match to keep your energy up and not get tired,,,,,then you don't need Gatorade on top of it, right ?? just more water would suffice ?
Yeah at least among runners and cyclists but he is The first tennisplayer that i have seen. I often use these liquids when i run and cycle instead of gels but it is more like a energy gel mixed with water.

Well i'm from Sweden where they also are quite big. Any gels are probably good as long as your stomach can take them, they are quite strong you know ;)
