Pro Players Drinks Confused?

[Recon]

So I'm watching Djokovic and Cilic right now playing and I saw djokovic at his turn over drink off at about 3 bottles. It hit me right there and then almost all pros usually have 2-3 bottles of some sort of different fluids. I never payed it much attention but do you think by mixing these fluids (water being the constant) is it more beneficial to the player pertaining into energy levels? I mean these guys have to play intense matches I think the drinks are somewhat important! Does anyone know? I would presume Gatorade, PowerAde, but just a bit curious on it. Any answer much appreciated your guess is as good as mine. :-|

the answer to your question is: They are drinking electrolite enhanced bevrages. Most likely in powderded form (at first), then poured into the bottle. This is what gives them energy.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly just advertisement.

Exactly. I've seen a pro tennis player sip water from three different bottles.

Basically, a lot of it is the advertisement part - product placement.

Most of the time I think they drink 2...one being an electrolyte sports drink, and the other being water. I'm not sure about three though...

What i usually do is have a swig of the sports drink, and then sip the water to get rid of the sweet sticky feeling.
