The best Products for Tennis: Performance and Recovery

• A proper diet and physical preparation are essential to ensure recovery, which is basic for an amateur or professional tennis player.
• Food supplements are also key for athletes who have to endure maximum demand for hours on end. Plus, they’re alone on the court facing their opponent.

Think tennis is a chill sport? Not exactly. In fact, it’s a sport with repeated bursts of intensity, with no set start or end time. Remember, a tennis match can vary by hours compared to another.

Here are the best tennis products to help you boost your performance.

What products to take before a tennis match?

Tennis is a sport where mental focus and strength are often just as important as the physical side. That’s why we can outline different areas of appropriate supplementation for racket sports athletes.

One of the most complete options on the market is Evordx 2.0 from SportSeries.

How does it help?

Physical aspect

Strength, power, and high-intensity moments are key in tennis, bringing it closer to team sports like football or basketball. However, keep in mind it’s an individual sport (not always), where you face your opponent solo.

Mental and focus aspect

As mentioned before, working on mental strength and focus is super important for tennis players. Ever tried supplements to help with that?

At HSN, we recommend caffeine intake. Yes, you can get caffeine from a simple coffee before playing or training. Fair enough. But are you really going to carry a coffee maker in your training or competition bag? We offer the option to take it in a handy format just moments before starting your training session or competitive event.

Get the most out of your pre-training and competition with the supplement that combines all the necessary components before physical work!

What do tennis players drink during breaks?

Here, carbohydrates play a fundamental role to provide the energy substrate needed to meet the high energy demand of this sport.

With these products, we guarantee you’ll keep the “fuel” you need during tennis matches.

Our first recommendation is to use Evocarbs 2.0 from SportSeries as the tennis player’s best ally.

How does it help?

Generally, a tennis match can last from 3 to 5 hours. During that time, players have to endure a single break between points lasting less than a minute, a minute and a half between games, and two minutes between sets (which can range from 3 to 5 sets needed to win the match).

We think this physical effort described above already explains the importance of physical condition and pre-competition supplementation.

In this sense, carbohydrates are the reserves that, as in all endurance sports, are used up first. That’s why we recommend replenishing them, either through carb-rich drinks and/or gels that provide the basic levels to maintain physical effort for hours.

Do you prefer taking gels during high-intensity tennis matches and training?

Try Evoenergy, available with caffeine or without stimulants. We recommend alternating one gel of each type every 45 minutes.

How do tennis players recover after matches?

Keep in mind these athletes can play two maximum-intensity matches with no fixed schedule in less than 24 hours. So, it goes without saying that recovery is the key moment to keep going in a top-level tournament.

To “refill” energy stores and promote muscle repair, we recommend our all-in-one recovery product Evorecovery from SportSeries.

How does it help?

The first recommendation from a nutritionist working with tennis players is to consume carb-rich foods within 30 minutes after finishing a high-intensity training or match, which improves recovery.

Ok! Got it. But what if it’s not possible to get all the right macro and micronutrients in that time frame?

That’s where so-called recoveries come in, which are not only rich in carbs but also in proteins to rebuild muscle fibers.

And in this regard, we present a revolutionary ingredient in recovery products: Tart Cherry from EssentialSeries.

Finally, besides carb formulas in liquid or gel form during physical effort in tennis (referring to breaks), there’s also the option of energy bars, which although usually taken after activity, can also be consumed during breaks if the match lasts long:

Energy Bar Flapjack: Made with oat flakes (a natural source of carbohydrates), it also contains natural fruit and nuts. It will give you energy during long tennis matches.

Evogummy Recovery Gummy Bar: Provides 20,6 g of carbohydrates per serving, in a highly digestible gummy-style recovery bar. Contains l-glutamine, l-carnitine l-tartrate.
