Not so easy to replace Ma Long after all.
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.
that is why I say, kids still need to be kids
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.
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.
