Hi Bakshish,
Well done on entering your first tournament. This is a really good step forward with your development.
It is really natural to be feeling nervous. Everyone feels the same at their first tournament.
The main thing is to think about how much you can learn at the tournament, not trying prove anything.
I would just use the serves you feel comfortable with. You don't need to do anything different just see how your skills match up against some other players.
Good luck... and let us know how you get on.
Most table tennis rallies last just 3.4 shots. So if you want to win more matches, you need to master the short game! In this episode of the PingSkills Show, you’ll learn why the short game is so important and how to control the first few shots to stop your opponent from attacking first.
Whether you’re struggling with your short push, not sure when to flick, or want to stop giving away easy attacks, this video will help you play smarter.
