Video: Lauren Davis digs into peanut butter during Aussie Open clash

Lauren Davis

American tennis player Lauren Davis may have started a new trend after getting stuck into a tasty treat mid-match at the Australian Open.

After forcing a third set against Maria Sharapova in their third round clash in Melbourne, Davis was in need of some extra energy.

But instead of the traditional banana or electrolyte-filled sports drink, she went for the peanut butter.

A high source of fibre, protein and magnesium, it's certainly a tasty option for a mid-match snack.

The commentator was quick to point out that maybe Nick Kyrgios could dig in to some Vegemite during his matches.

However, one question remains. Was it crunchy or smooth?
