Thanks for the reply. Heck no I didn’t win! Was just hoping to boost my rank a bit. It was a giant round robin. In the first round, won two lost one (highest rank from group didn’t show up). Since I only had one loss, I was in over my head in round two and took 3 losses. No biggie, still good experience and glad I went. More than 60 players I believe. I’m still a developing player; I just like the tournaments as a chance to have fun, play a bunch of matches and check out some high-level play.

I’ve got a tournament coming up in a week and I’m wondering if there are specific drills or types of practice others have found helpful in the week or two weeks leading up to a tournament. I’ve been to a few so I know what to expect at the event, just looking for some advice on how to structure my practice, or if I should keep it the same as usual.

Probably more emphasis on serve, service receive and honing these skills so that at go to moments in your upcoming matches you have 100% certainty you know what you are trying to achieve and how to do it. Throw in some tactical and thinking work and the rest is keeping things ticking over.
