Biography

Lyudmyla Viktorivna Kichenok (Ukrainian: Людмила Вікторівна Кіченок, born 20 July 1992) is a Ukrainian tennis player.

On 21 July 2014, Lyudmyla reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 156. On 13 January 2020, she peaked at No. 32 in the doubles rankings. To date, she has won four doubles titles on the WTA Tour, all with her twin sister Nadiia Kichenok.

Career

In 2015, she won her first WTA doubles title 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 title. They previously had been runners-up at Tashkent in 2011 and Shenzhen in 2014. She won the second WTA doubles title at Brasil Tennis Cup.

During the 2015 Tianjin Open, Lyudmyla caused the biggest upset of the tournament, upsetting world No. 8 and reigning US Open champion Flavia Pennetta in the first round for the biggest win of her career so far.
