Weekend update: 3rd week November 2024: T100h and T100w; IFF 2024 at Nirmana Falatehan
Played once this week on Sunday only as Saturday, we had event in the building (IFF 2024, see run pic below).
On Saturday played 3 sets: 6-4 (4-4) Hr vs Bd-Dn, 6-3 Rh vs Op-Ny, 6-4 (4-1) Bd vs Mr-Dn. First 2 sets playing with T100h but felt string pretty loose with balls sprayed. The T100w played well against stronger opponent Mr for rallying. The 1st set is the most interesting set because Bd-Dn played defense pretty well, they were pushing the ball. Me and Hr depending on the situation attack with Hr dropping and lobbing balls perfectly.
