I have been using the clothing “dry fit”, “wikit”, “cool Max”, “frog togs” as well as the cloths drenched in water and refridgerated which stay cold for about 6hrs; and thats in the Arizona desert. Drinking a product from Costco called ZipFizz, powder dissolved in a bottle of water helps with the hydration. I only play doubles however and am not sprinting all over the court.

In addition to drinking plenty of water, I also like the bands that you soak in water and tie around your neck to stay cool.

Water with sea salt works better then Sports drinks like Gatorade and Powerade.
