When I have a tournament in early afternoon (13.30), when and what should I eat for lunch?

Thank you for your answer.

Hi Christian,

Certainly nothing too heavy.  Things high in carbohydrates would be good, like breads and cereals.  I like to use fruit buns.  Also make sure you are well hydrated.  Water is fine here.

You could probably eat at around 12 to a little earlier, depending on your on table preparation required.  In this case you could have a bigger breakfast as well so that you don't need to eat so much just before you play.

A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
