Ayumi Morita (森田 あゆみ, Morita Ayumi, born 11 March 1990[1]) is a Japanese former professional tennis player. She reached a career-high ranking of No. 40 in the world in October 2011. At junior level, she reached a combined career-high ranking of No. 3.
Morita is known for strong and consistent two-handed groundstrokes which she hits very flat. She is also regarded as very tough mentally for a young player, often showing great resolve to win close matches despite a lackluster serve.[citation needed] 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-loss record for Japan.
