Your body doesn't care whether the carbs are solid or liquid. Some good choices include bananas, orange sections, sports drinks or anything else that's quickly digested. After the Match Not to beat a dead horse, but hydration should be your first priority. Drink about two cups of water for every pound of sweat you lose. You can estimate this by weighing yourself before and after a match.
Hydration is just part of the recovery equation.
Your glycogen stores also need some tending to after a hard day on the courts. Your muscles are most receptive to carbohydrate replenishment during the first hour or so after exercise. Take in about 50 to 100 grams of carbs within the first 15 minutes. Typically, most people don't have much of an appetite after they play, so reach for a sports drink or some juice. Once your appetite hits, reach for bread, bagels, cereal or fruit, all of which get into your system fairly quickly.
