Hi Alex,
The best way of preparing is to start to think tactically what you will do during the match.
Think about where you will serve, what type of serves you will do and also what types of service returns you will try for.
In the rally which side is it better to play the ball to?
If you think about these things beforehand you can then also start to practice them leading up to the match.
Good luck with the tournament.

Tactical Planning
Spin, speed and placement are the 3 things you need to focus on when coming up with your tactics against each of your opponents. Start with the serve and your third ball attack. Figure out what type of serve your opponent finds most difficult. Find out where is the best place to direct your first attack. Is your opponent better at blocking with their backhand or forehand? Does your opponent prefer a faster topspin or a slow spinny topspin? Do the same for your returns.
