First time tomato grower. Started these from seeds and they are about 2 months old. I live in a tropical climate and it rains a lot. It is growing up the string trellis well but seems like the leaves are a little droopy. Do they look okay and if there's anything i need to do at this point. Thanks in advance for any advice/tips.

They look healthy! But they are too close together. I plant one tomato plant every 4 square feet. Depending on what varieties you’re growing they can get really big or stop growing once they reach a certain size. I grew purple Cherokee tomatoes this year and my plant was almost 6 feet tall.
They will likely get much larger and you will run into space issues and then that will lead to mold issues, especially if you are in a high humidity environment. What size pot are they in? Also, is that water on the leaves from rain or from you watering the plant? Only water the soil and not the leaves.
They look healthy. I’m a timer myself. It took me a bit to get used to the leaves lying like they do. Notice your leaves aren’t curled they act as shade once the plant starts fruiting. If them are indeterminate varieties they’ll be fighting for space. My plant is a sweet 100 Cherry and it’s a beast of a plant.
They look healthy but appear like they are not getting enough light. They’re “leggy.”
As you get closer to setting and growing fruit, they will need more light for high yields
