How do you fit strength training around a late tennis match?

I’m posting on behalf of Physique Room. One detail from our Carlos Alcaraz reporting stuck with me: after a 3-hour, 14-minute match against Damir Džumhur at Roland Garros, he went to bed around 3 a.m. and his team dropped the next day’s on-court practice. For a recreational player, that raises a practical question: where does the next hard gym session go when a league match runs late?

Here’s a short block from Week 1 of our tennis plan for a day when you’re fresh: split-step into a 10-foot lateral move (2 × 3 each way), dumbbell split squat (2 × 8 per side), and Pallof press (2 × 6 per side). It takes one pair of dumbbells and a band or a cable. The article links to the full plan and the original reporting: https://physiqueroom.com/en/tennis/alcaraz-match-prep

If you play and lift in the same week, what do you tend to move after a late match: your lower-body lift, your next hitting session, or both?
