<small>"The one match I played in this tournament that felt like a genuine challenge, and one I very much had to work for to win, which was so satisfying to pull off. VidTens came at me with some extremely specific wildcard restrictions for Round 2, but I otherwise used this match to invent a new variant called "Oblique Strategies Tennis", where rather than choose specific restrictions, these are chosen by an outside system that give no real direct instructions and are meant to be recreated interpretively. For three of the four rounds of this match we operated under these kinds of experimental conditions and I would say that the launch of this variant was a success. I need to actually play another match of this kind though!"</small><ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fu92OzoP3Vabsju1MmXyvU-keTyfPDaaGjNMjUHwA_4/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref>
