Playing USTA = 2-3 matches a day - need drugs for endurance

the least you can do is take vitamins and watch your diet for best performances on and off the court.

If your looking for a little more improvement in your stamina.
I'm 52, I've been playing tennis since I was 17 and it's accually been getting easier as I get older, I enjoy beating up on the younger kids, (I'm talkin' 18-30 yr olds) It really does have everything to do with fitness and diet not just tennis for fitness, add some weight training. I play 3-4 times a week with 4.5-5.0 players and am ususally the last to leave when everyone's pooped out.
And my secret is pure and natural, "Bee Pollen" 1000 mg everyday whether you play or not, along with vitamins of course. This is what bees use for energy, Flower pollen is purer if you can find it because it's harvested without the bees, but more expensive, bee pollen is fine. Try it an hour before you play, you'll be surprised.
