One of the lower-ranked players that I was impressed with this week was Japanese Misaki Doi. Although ranked in the 90s, she showed a lot of spunk and grit as she fought former world #1 Victoria Azarenka! Her groundstrokes were so solid and they hit the mark, especially in the first two sets.
Hopefully, her rankings improve as she gets to more tournaments. I think she can really do damage, at least with the players in the top 50. Other diminutive players like Zheng Jie and Sara Errani have reached the semifinals and the finals of grand slams so anything is possible!
