Muscle building playing tennis?

[IDENTITY_]

Hi guys (posted this in sports area but got little response)
I've only started working out and eating right for about six months. In that time I have found cutting simple enough but building muscle seems difficult.
Is it possible to make good gains? I train for 2 hours 2-3 times a week on court...I try and fit workouts on different days if possible. Some Saturdays I have matches, which are usually 4-5 hours straight tennis with little break.

1. Is it possible to make muscle gains with such intense matches? (won't all muscle break down?)
2. What can I do to build muscle more effectively? Eat during the match? Specific routine?

At the moment I am starting a 4 day split. 1.Chest/tris/abs 2. Back/Bis 3. Legs 4. Delts/traps/abs (rest day between 2 and 3 then 2 days off after 4)
My diet is cutting at the moment so on 3200 cals a day. Gone from 203lbs to 193 lbs in 7 weeks. I'm thinking 3800 cals a week for bulking? (remember I do so much cardio naturally need higher cals)

Your thoughts would be of great interest.

You're probably going to have to increase your caloric intake quite a bit to gain muscle with that tennis schedule. For bulking, assuming you keep playing tennis, you'll need more than 3800 calories. At least 4000. Probably 4500 if you really want to gain.

I played a lot of tennis back in high school and remained skinny despite eating ~3300 calories a day. I realize everyone's metabolism is different, but I'm just making the point that tennis can soak up calories.

I guess the problem is I don't wanna be too heavy....
I'll try 3800 cals a day to start off with....Do you reckon I should cycle the cals I eat weekly depending on whether I have a match? (Matches burn 2k cals more in one day)....
What about cycling carbs?
Anyone else, views?

Yes I would definately eat more on your match days and I agree with UF Matt in increasing your cals even more. With the workout routine try only 3 days per week and keep them short and intense. Get in, get out and stuff your face with food.
