Today, I'm playing a school match. While this match is probably going to be very quick, I can use it as an opportunity to improve my focus. I am sick and I need to ignore that and rise over it to focus on the match. I will not play any sloppy points. I will try to keep away mental lapses by treating every point like it decides the match. I am determined to win 8-0 and get every point I can get today.
