Dear PingSkills, 

I have a county tournament coming up in about 2 weeks, and all the games are only 1 set long, first to 11. Normally it takes me more than one game to get settled and play my best. Do you have any tips on how i can control the match and win in so little points?

Thanks for your time

Hi Darrell,

I think the key is preparation.  Make sure you have had a good hit up before each game and also make sure you are really well physically warmed up.
