At junior level, she reached a combined career-high ranking of No. 3. Morita is recognized for her two‑handed groundstrokes, which she strikes with a characteristically flat trajectory. A small, quick athlete, Morita possesses good footwork and court coverage, allowing her to neutralize opponents and dictate play through movement and precision.
