Career

Playing for Ukraine Fed Cup team, Nadiia Kichenok has a win–loss record of 6–7 as of July 2024.

In 2015, Nadiia and Lyudmyla came back from a 0–5 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 and Kristýna Plíšková, to win a WTA Tour doubles title. They had previously been runners-up at Tashkent in 2011, and at Shenzhen in 2014.

At the inaugural edition of the Tallinn Open in 2022, seeded third with her sister, she won her eighth title defeating top seeds Nicole Melichar and Laura Siegemund in the final.

At the 2023 Ladies Linz, she reached the final with Anna-Lena Friedsam. At the inaugural edition of the Texas Open in Austin, she finished in the semifinals, also with Friedsam.

With her sister she reached the quarterfinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
