Hi Santosh,

Playing more of these tournaments will be good for you.  It sounds like there is a good level of ability at them.

Work first on skills and keep focusing on improving.  Then go back and play more of these tournaments and see how you go.

Hi Santosh,

Firstly to think about the opponent you will be playing and try to remember his strengths and weaknesses.  Then I would spend a lot of time practicing serves.  Try to get more spin on them.  Which serves you use will depend on your opponent.  Try to find one they don't read well and one that will get the ball up higher for you.  Experiment over the next month and you will start to improve your serves.
