Yeah, there's really nothing wrong with this. Oftentimes you can see cyclists doing the same thing during a race. It's not like they're sitting around drinking 5 cans of soda with a bag of potato chips or something...

He's obviously not as serious as other players who have been in the top 10...

I like my electrolytes to NOT take rust off of car bumpers.

I imagine Monfils knows what works for his body by this point. :P The guy is a top athlete and has been for years. If Coke gave him cramps or was otherwise seriously detrimental to his performance, I think he'd be aware of it by now.

Different things work for different people... there are reasons why certain things are recommended and others discouraged, but at the individual level, those rules don't always hold true.

Did you see what he looked like at the end of the match? What Simon looked like?

Oh, and some of those triathletes that do that...they collapse at the end.

Pro cyclists often drink coke for energy

[TheF1Bob]

LOL I brought this up in the match thread yesterday.

No wonder his fitness is so lame.

You can put off the crash by drinking more.

[despo]

false energy compared to what ? dummy , you dont crash if you keep you blood sugar stable by consuming the right amount of calories , carbs etc to sustain your activity

Lay off the name calling.

You are not going to justify this whatsoever. That kind of garbage for high level athletes to be at their best is wrong...period.

And let's get back to tennis. What do Federer, Djokovic, and Ferrer have on changeovers?

Or Murray, or Nadal?

[Onehandedbackhand]

No one gets to the highest level drinking and eating that garbage...not happening.

Not anymore.

honey would have been the best choice for Monfills, not soda
