Played 3rd LITL match (not including a WO) after straight set loss previous game. We won 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Played against a strong intermediate opponent. They have solid serves and forehands. Our win was helped by unforced errors though we had some too. We could have lost the last set but I think they lost their focus. We had a single break on the first set. The second and third had more breaks between the teams. My serve game were broken once in the 3rd set.
On racquet, warmup using both racquets but felt low power from ATS98. 1st set: first few games were using T100 but shots sprayed so change to ATS98. Court still wet thus heavier and harder balls. I close out the set. 2nd set: courts were dryer but partner lost focus sometimes. Partner game was broken twice though we took one. The ATS98 felt heavy so change racquet on the rubber set. 3rd set were all over the place. The score was 2-4 then 5-4 but partner cant close it but at 6-5 after break, we close it out at serve on the second match point.
Overall, need to test the ATS98 with a new string of old hybrid on morning outdoor play to compare with WUT. The T100 were definitely helped winning the last set, easy to strike and spin especially against heavy spin balls. It gave good power just by returning the heavy topspin ball. The plow through and spin was at best.
