When I saw the deep rib forming at the 1:00 position, I knew this one probably wasn't going to make it. Sure enough, it couldn't hold on with that shape.
And honestly, I knew I was taking a gamble setting a fruit at the main vine tip with nothing after it. You can terminate a main after you know it's set at day 10+, but it seems like you get some more awkward shapes if you pre-trim a vine so that it dead ends at a fruit even before pollination. This plant wanted to make short stems, so I figured this was my best route at the time.
Luckily, I had already set a fruit on a secondary that I didn't have the heart to cull once this one set. You can see it in the background. Much better shape.
