If you’re going to get into it you may as well look the part.
New activewear brand Pokita was founded by two players during lockdown who spotted a gap in the market for eco-friendly tennis wear.
They have a range of separates in eye-catching prints. I tried their skorts – a mix of shorts and a skirt.
They are really comfortable with a high waist and little silicone dots inside to stop them riding up.
Made from recycled polyester and spandex for a four-way stretch.
I loved the fact they have a ball pocket and a phone pocket too.
Available in black leopard, cornflower dalmatian, red leopard and white. In sizes XS-XL. £50,
ELECTROLYTES
When you see the players sipping bright coloured liquid during breaks they’re drinking electrolyte drinks that prevent cramping and muscle fatigue, hydrate and contribute to brain and nerve function.
The four main electrolytes lost during sweating are sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium.
Phizz is a rehydration drink with multivitamins that contains these electrolytes and is available in orange and a new apple and blackcurrant flavour.
Good for tiredness, hangovers, flights, travel and hot weather too! £7.99 for 20 tablets.
