She's short. She kinda looks/plays like Rika Fujiwara.
Her coach is a former pro, Kyoko Nagatsuka.

You know when Rika is taller than you, you're very short. Thanks for the pic Yoshi! Where's that from?

Yes, I watched it It was the match I waited for all day. Despite the score, the two were fairly evenly matched, Erika had a few problems controlling volleys, but had a nice baseline game and technically she is good She also was pretty nervous I think and in the second set she let 3-1 but Kostanic won the next 5 games. I think she has a bright future, she could be in the top 100 I think next year I enjoyed watching her as well, and I now really like her

top 10 ? I would love that I think he could be in the top 50, maybe 40 if she keeps training. She could currently be a lot tougher. I think she will end the year in the top 120. Go Erika
