Career

In 2015, she won her first WTA doubles *le together with her sister. They escaped a 5–0 deficit in the second set tie-break of their 6–4, 7–6 defeat of Liang Chen and Wang Yafan in the Shenzhen Open final. That made the Kichenoks the second pair of twins, after Karolína Plíšková and Kristýna Plíšková, to win a WTA doubles *le. They previously had been runners-up at Tashkent in 2011 and Shenzhen in 2014. She won the second WTA doubles *le at Brasil Tennis Cup.

During the 2015 Tianjin Open, Lyudmyla caused the biggest upset of the tournament with a top-10 win, over World No. 8 and reigning US Open champion Flavia Pennetta, in the first round for the biggest win of her career so far.
