A spectacular table-tennis match! I remember a battle I was having in 2014. It was in the semi-final. (In the quarter-final I had a matchpoint against me, but my opponent smashed the ball right into the net). I was feeling very weak that day, but I forced myself to fight. I was so passionate about table-tennis. (Sometimes I felt weak due to stomach problems) In the semi-final I lost the first two sets by 11-4 and 11-5, respectively! I really had no chance at all! I was completely lost! All I was doing was picking up the balls from him. He was hitting the ball very fast and powerfully. I had to react very quickly. I remember I was thinking: This must change. It can't go on like this the whole time? And I was right. He began to miss his shots more frequently. Somehow I managed to win the third set (with) 11-9. I took the fourth set 11-4 . In the fifth, deciding set, we were going back and forth. It was 9-9, and his turn serve. I won 11-9! (Later I won the final, too)

I changed the highlighted sentence to past tense because the rest of your story is in the past tense, not the present tense. It still feels a little out of place though. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "picking up the balls from him." It sounds like it was a fun match though!
