She is also regarded as very tough mentally for a young player, often showing great resolve to win close matches despite a lackluster serve. Morita is a small and quick player with excellent footwork and movement around the court. Morita is one of the most successful Fed Cup players of recent times with a 23–14 match win record for Japan. On September 16, 2008, she beat world No. 19 Ágnes Szávay in three sets in the Toray Pan Pacific Open.
