Hi Kaustubh,
The last few days you should concentrate a lot on your serving and return of serve and 3rd ball. Also practice your strengths a lot. This is what is going to win you points in the tournament.
Some players even like to just rest the day before a tournament.
Good luck from the PingSkillers and let us know how you go.

Well,it wasn't the best tournament for me.
.
Lost in the 3rd round.
My opponent wasnt that good,but nerves got me.
Tried to concentrate on breathing and it helped.
1 service error shattered my confidence when i was Trailing on the score.
then my opponent topspins and my block goes out of the table.happened twice.
Had my moments in the match,but it wasnt enough !
Anyways,theres always another time !
But for now,
This will get better with the more you focus on the breathing and the more experience you get at tournaments.
3rd round sounds OK.
