Hi Sherif,
Being able to play well in matches comes with being exposed to more tournaments and matches against a wide variety of player.
Do you feel like you get nervous during matches? If it is nerves, then think about taking a deep breath whenever you start to get the feelings of tension. Then focus on the tactic that you are going to use on the next point.
There are a lot of good rubbers out there. Jeff and I use XIOM Vega Pro. This is an advanced rubber. Depending on the amount of time you have been playing you may want to start with Mark V.
