The legendary Bjorn Borg fueled his success with a daily diet of steak and potatoes.
Hell raising stars of the recent past were not adverse to sinking more than a few beers after a tough match.
But the modern tennis star is more likely to be teetotal and to stick to a gluten free diet -- avoiding the red meat and carbs which five-time Wimbledon champion Borg apparently ate every day.
Doubles stalwart and ATP Player Council member Eric Butorac should know.
He's been on the circuit for nearly a decade and rubs shoulders with the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic both on and off the court.
"I think the top players have cut alcohol completely out of their diet and the rest of the players to stay competitive have mostly followed suit,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-by-dr-dre-tour-254]Beats By Dr Dre[/url]," Butorac told CNN's Open Court program.
"It's funny because actually our tour sponsor is Corona -- so there are Coronas available wherever we want,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com]Billiga Monster[/url], in the locker room and in the players' lounge but it's surprising that at the end of the week they are often not even touched.
Serious endeavor
"For the most part guys treat their bodies like a temple and take it very seriously.&quot,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/team-series-21-252]Billiga Beats By Dr Dre[/url];
Butorac believes the established "Big Four" of Rafael Nadal, Djokovic, Andy Murray and Federer have permanently raised the bar as regards fitness and diet issues and there is no going back.
With the rewards for success so large -- $31 million on offer at the 2014 season opening Australian Open -- any small margins gained can be worth a small fortune.
"If you look at the amount of money that can be won at the top of the sport or any major sport so you know that line between No.1 and No.5 in the world is worth millions and millions of dollars so I think you see these guys doing every little thing they can to achieve that," added Butorac.

Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash said that the move to a great emphasis on fitness and diet started during his glory years in the 1980s and 90s,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/the-recording-technician-gem-series-246]Monster Beats[/url], but his predecessors were not so careful.
"I heard stories that the old Aussie greats used to play hard and drink hard and used to have steak and potatoes,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-by-solo-257]Beats by dre[/url]," said Cash.
&quot,[url=http://www.billigabeat.com/monster-beats-pro-diamond-edition-247]Beats Sverige[/url];I once asked Bjorn Borg 'what did you eat?' and he said 'every day I had a steak and I had potatoes' and he used to play five sets of practice every day and back it up day in day out with steak and potatoes!"
