Lately my son has been playing a lot of tennis in three day USTA tournaments. Last tournament he played 3 singles matches and 2 doubles matches in 24 hours. So his legs are almost gone on the last of day of the tournament and ends up losing to opponents he usually beats. This depends on the draw. If he gets seeded opponents with matches lasting over 2 hours in the early rounds, his performance drops in the later rounds. Any suggestions to help him recover for the next day? I'm thinking of pulling him out of doubles tournaments but he seems to enjoy doubles a lot. Would diet help him recover faster? He loves junk food like french fries, doughnuts and burgers. He does eat fruits and vegetables but he gets most of his calories from junk. Due to the amount of tennis he plays, he doesn't gain any weight from all the junk food he eats. He is in 96%tile height and 70%tile weight. Any cool down routines post match to help him recover?
