Hi Usama,

Focus on the things that you do well.  Think about practicing these in the next few days.

On the day of the tournament, watch the other player and see if you can see some weaknesses in his game.  It may be a serve that you can do or a particular placement of the ball that he doesn't like.

Also make sure you enjoy the experience of playing in the tournament and try to learn as much as you can.
