Pro career

Early career

Kudryavtseva debuted at the WTA Tour in the 2004 Kremlin Cup, where she could not succeed beyond the qualifying round. In the following season her best result in the WTA tour was reaching the 1st Rounds of the Nordea Nordic Light Open in Stockholm in singles and the Banka Koper Slovenia Open in doubles.

Her first Major appearance was at the 2006 Australian Open, where she could not win a qualification round. The same result was seen at the other three Grand Slams. Among her more notable results in that season were reaching the singles quarterfinals of the Sunfeast Open in Kolkata, India, and the semifinals in doubles of the Tashkent Open, with Canadian Stéphanie Dubois.

2007–11: Steady progress

In 2007, Kudryavtseva deputed in the main draw of the Australian Open, reaching the 2nd Rounds in singles and doubles. With Hsieh Su-wei she reached her first WTA final at the Sony Ericsson International in Bangalore, India, losing to a pair from Taipei. Again in Kolkata, Kudryavtseva with Vania King won her first title. Her best result in singles was reaching the Barcelona KIA tournament.

Now partnering with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, she could reach the final at the Internazionali Femminili di Palermo, losing to Sara Errani and Nuria Llagostera Vives. She played alongside several doubles partners, including King and Vera Dushevina. Meanwhile in singles, Kudryavtseva fought her way through the 4th Round of Wimbledon, which is to date her best result in a Grand Slam singles event. There she defeated 3rd-seeded Maria Sharapova.

Kudryavtseva progressed in doubles in the next season, climbing with Ekaterina Makarova the final of the Premier Mandatory China Open, eventually losing to Chinese pair Hsieh Su-wei and Peng Shuai. Kudryavtseva/Dushevina could reach the quarterfinals of the Rogers Cup.

The Russian two times in succession reached the finals in singles, becoming champion in Tashkent and before that runner-up Guangzhou. As a result she attained her highest to date year-end ranking, 61. With her new partner Anastasia Rodionova she also reached two finals in doubles, winning the UNICEF Open.

In the 2011 season she and Olga Govortsova reached three WTA finals at the Cellular South Cup, Aegon Classic and Citi Open, the first two of which they won.

Kudryavtseva and Makarova became quarterfinalists of the 2012 Australian Open, eventually losing to Errani/Vinci; this became her best result in a Grand Slam doubles tournament. However, her 2012 season was rather poor, eventually skipping the WTA tour for ITF tournaments at season end.

From 2013: Breakthrough in doubles

The back and forth switching of ITF and WTA tournaments continued until showing with Rodionova significant results since late April. They won the Challenge Bell, and also reached the final of the Kremlin Cup. Furthermore, the two became semifinalists at the Premier 5 events Internezionali BNL d'Italia and Toray Pan Pacific Open. Kudryavtseva returned to the top 50 as a result of her successful season.

In 2014, Kudryavtseva/Rodionova entered the Wimbledon Championships, where they lost against Babos/Mladenovic. They also reached the semifinals in Cincinnati and Beijing, the quarterfinals in Miami, Doha and Wuhan. She and her partner won the tournaments in Dubai and Brisbane, and additionally running-up in Pattaya. As a consequence she pushed into the top-20 in doubles, reaching a career-high ranking of 15.

Kudryavtseva/Rodionova entered in their debut Championships in Singapore, beating in the quarterfinals fourth seeded Makarova/Vesnina, 4–6, 6–2, [10–6]. In the semifinals they were defeated by title defenders Su-wei/Shuai, 1–6, 4–6.
