Hi Alois, I'm about to play in a tournament, but I am scared of losing because I am way better than the players I am going to play against. If I lose my ranking will not be the same, I will be lower. Help please ! :)

Hi Yoan,

This is a common feeling.  Think more about how you are going to play well rather than trying to win the tournament.  If you focus on each match, each game and each point you will do well.
