Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Anand took the lead-off 2-0 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Sweep on the board

    Anand blanked their opponent 2-0 — full leaderboard point earned.

  • Won the heart-rate test

    Robert closed out a hill-hill 2-1. Mental game showed up.

What to clean up
  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 2-5 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Lost the lead

    Was up by 2 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.

  • Conceded a sweep

    Steven and Aaron got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.
