My favourite Etixx products
My favourite product is Etixx Recovery Shake PRO LINE. If I am at a tournament, whenever I win my match, I have to play again the next day. The Etixx Recovery Shake PRO LINE helps me to recover fast, so I start the next day in better shape. After strength training, I prefer to take the High Protein Shake to maintain and build my muscle mass. I highly recommend this.
Also, during the match, Etixx helps me to keep my energy levels up thanks to the Isotonic Drink Energy Gel and the Caffeine Sport Gummies. I think these gummies are super, because, thanks to the 80 mg of caffeine, they keep my concentration and alertness sharp after hours of training. I feel good with Etixx sports nutrition. I chose Etixx because it works. In addition, Etixx has a very broad range of products. As a sportswoman, this makes it very attractive, particularly for the variety after a long period of training and matches.
My greatest tennis achievements
- Semi-final Australian Open
- 2x quarter-final US Open
- Winner of the tournament in Doha
- 5 WTA titles
- Doubles Grand Slam winner US Open
My tip for beginner tennis players
Top up enough, so use the Etixx Isotonic, Energy Gels and Sport Gummies in good time during training, before your energy reserves have depleted, that way you will be able to train for longer.
