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.
