Strings were added to new branching of the tomato plants as required. The various branches bearing fruit are supported by strings tied to an overhead structure. Sucker are not removed. Strings are added throughout the growing season. The fruit encounters no obstacles and is free growing. I tried all the various support systems over the years and found this overhead system to be the best IMO.

Eight foot rebar and some 8 foot metal fence posts. Rebar alone is fine. But the fence posts make it a bit more stable.
