Junior career
Nara began playing tennis at the age of three. At the Esaka Tennis Center in Osaka, the budding pro player studied tennis under the tutelage of Japanese tennis luminaries Masaru Suishu and Hiroko Mochizuki. She won recognition from an early age as a tennis prodigy. In 2002, while enrolled in Kawanishi Makinodai Elementary School, Nara took second place in the All Japan Primary School Tennis Championships at the age of ten. She would go on to win that tournament in 2003.
In 2004, after entering the middle school associated with Osaka Sangyo University, Nara won the girls' singles title in the All Japan Middle School Tennis Championship. 2006 marked her debut, via sponsor recommendation, in the "All Japan Tennis Championships" women's singles draw; however, a first-round loss abruptly ended her tournament run. As a freshman at Osaka Sangyo's high school in 2007, Nara won the Under-18 singles title at the All Japan Junior Tennis Championships.
In addition to her participation in the major events for her age group, Nara also accumulated victories each year in junior tournaments throughout Japan. She enjoyed success in doubles on the ITF Junior Circuit with partner Misaki Doi, earning entrance to the girls' doubles draw at the Wimbledon Championships in 2007. They placed second overall, becoming only the second Japanese women's doubles pair to reach the finals of a Grand Slam juniors event since Yuka Yoshida and Hiroko Mochizuki at the 1993 US Open. The Nara–Doi team went on to reach the junior doubles semifinals at the 2007 US Open and Wimbledon 2008, in addition to strong performances at smaller tournaments.
Nara also enjoyed success in singles. In 2007, she became the first Japanese woman to win the Osaka Mayor's Cup since Ryōko Fuda in 2002. Also that year, she made her second appearance, again by sponsor recommendation, in the All Japan Tennis Championships. In the second round, she defeated defending champion and 5th seed Erika Takao in straight sets, in the third round, she toppled 11th seed Tomoko Yonemura in three sets, and in the quarterfinals she lost to Junri Namigata. Nara teamed again with Misaki Doi in doubles, reaching the second round in her tournament doubles debut. The next year, she partnered with Kimiko Date-Krumm to win the Kangaroo Cup in Gifu, and the title in the open tournament at Hamanako. She reached the third round of the 2008 US Open Girls' Singles tournament, where she lost to Kristina Mladenovic.
Professional career
2009–10
Nara turned pro in April 2009, winning the All Japan Tennis Championships that same year. She advanced to the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time at the 2010 French Open with a three set win over Monica Niculescu in the qualifiers. At four hours and 42 minutes, it was said to be the longest women's Grand Slam qualifier or main draw match in history.[2] She would go on to lose her first round match to Arantxa Parra Santonja.[3] She also qualified for Wimbledon, and won her first Grand Slam main draw singles match in two sets over Mariana Duque Mariño.[4] She fell to Li Na in the second round.
2011–13
Nara failed to gain entrance to the four Grand Slam tournaments in 2011, falling in the qualifiers each time. July marked Nara's first appearance representing Japan in Fed Cup competition; she notched a win in doubles with partner Rika Fujiwara in the playoffs against Argentina. Although she was again unable to pass the qualifying rounds of the year's Grand Slam events, Nara bested Polona Hercog and Eleni Daniilidou to qualify for the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in 2012. She was defeated in the first round by Urszula Radwańska. Nara won three qualifying matches to enter the main draw of the 2013 US Open, winning her first-round match against Romanian Alexandra Cadanțu. She advanced to the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time with a straight set upset victory over 19th-seeded Sorana Cîrstea, also of Romania. She lost to Jelena Janković in the third round. After four early exits in Tashkent, Guangzhou, Tokyo and Beijing, Nara regained some form in her home city at the Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships. Nara would make it to the semifinals of the tournament but was ousted by Eugenie Bouchard, losing in straight sets.

In September, Nara withdrew from the Hong Kong Tennis Open. Lost to eighth-seeded Carla Suárez Navarro in the first round at the Toray Pan Pacific Open.[38] Entered again with Shuko Aoyama in the doubles losing to the second-seeded team of Raquel Kops-Jones & Abigail Spears in the first round.[39] Suffered another first-round loss at the Wuhan Open to Svetlana Kuznetsova.[40] Unseeded and playing singles only at the China Open, advanced to the second round losing again to Kuznetsova.[41] Was scheduled to be the 4th seed at the Japan Women's Open but withdrew with a respiratory illness.[42]
Playing style
Kurumi Nara rarely wins points outright. Instead, she plays a patient game and tends to edge into points, gradually increasing the angle and/or power of her shots and prefers a punishing forehand or volley to close the point out. Her patience is also reflected in her serve, which (especially for her size) has quite a high ball toss. Her serve lacks the punch of players like Serena Williams or Maria Sharapova, but depends on placement and spin. Her short stature has definitely shaped her play style which, while aggressive, does not emphasize power, but more swinging the momentum in her favour and finishing the point off. Her strong forehand is her main weapon.
Equipment
Nara who prefers to play on hard courts,[43] uses a Srixon racquet and Dunlop Sport shoes.
