Hi Alois,

I am going to play my very first tournament and I have noticed that whenever there is people seeing my match I start to lose points. I start to think "what if I lose the match" and all.

In a tournament there will be a lot of spectators and then how will I deal with this....

Hi Moxie,

This is something that is a great experience for you.

Firstly don’t think that they are all focused on what you are doing.  Go out and enjoy the match and ficus on playing the best that you can.  Enjoy it and let me know how it all goes.
