So far ZQH looks like the less experienced player. He doesn't look confident or fluid, like he just hits 1 shot at a time without a plan.
I hope Ma Jinbao makes it far as well.

Typical Matsushima match looks like a top player in some games while completely losing focus and not being able to make a shot in other games.

Out of all the Japanese men players, Matsushima has the most entertaining rallies. Guys like Togami can get into some fun pure topspin rallies but Matsushima has the feeling and diversity to mix in more tricky spin shots and even chops.
Hopefully he can get a handle over his mentality as he matured because he's certainly not lacking in skill or talent.

WCQ out of in the R32, knocked out by Xu Yingbin.
Maybe that last game against LYJ having a lasting effect on his confidence.

I find these things amazing, I don't know how other people consider such things normal. Or can talk about his attitude or such stuff.

Nah, Xu Yingbin is playing French League and learning a lot, and in the end, these are just practice matches for WCQ.

WCT is one of the most underrated players in the world. Ma Jinbao is really good, but Wong Chun Ting can literally beat any player in the world when his game is on.

Yeah, some of his returns and placements were so good. Does Ma Jinbao primarily use reverse pendulum for his serve?

Yes, his primary and sometimes exclusive serve is the reverse pendulum. Similar to Kou Lei, though Kou Lei serves a bit more backhand.

talent-wise, he's now top 3 along with Hari and Togami, heck I think he's better than Togami in the sense that he's not afraid to defense in rallies and he has wittier shot placement.

I think it's fair to speculate about a how a very young teenage player matures. When you see flashes of brilliance intermixed with long periods of rushed and missed shots, it seems natural to talk about whether he can limit those moments.
I remember watching a match a few weeks ago where he went from dominating his opponent one game to losing 0-11 in the next. That sort of thing is not too uncommon, but it happens to him predictably often enough where it's currently a feature of his gameplay.
Definitely rooting for him since watching him and his family play Bobrow was one of the first TT related content I watched on YouTube.

Still "overrated" as I would've been told, despite being the reigning continental bronze grand slam holder, and getting the Asian Games bronze by beating LYJ 4-3 in QF (3 H2H 3 after that match).

Everything is fair for sure. Sora's style is inherently volatile because it is very touch/feeling based, I don't think the score changes are about attitude as much as they are about the limitations of his style, limitations that may evolve with age as well.
