Hi Giorgos,

The first thing is to make sure you do everything as normal.  Don't try to do something different now, it will not change so quickly.

The best players just go out at tournaments to do their best not to do something different or better.

Keep your grip the way you normally have it.  If you want to change it after the tournament then you can give it a try then.

Also take a look at the Blog on <a href="http://www.pingskills.com/blog/2008/11/13/what-to-expect-at-a-tournament/"> What to Expect at a Tournament</a>.

Good luck Giorgos.  Let us all know how you do in the tournament.
