Career

Kulichkova made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2014 İstanbul Cup as a qualifier. Having defeated Nadiia Kichenok and Melinda Czink in the preliminary rounds, she lost to Shahar Pe'er in round one. Further first-round exits followed in Hong Kong and Seoul before once again coming through qualifying in Tianjin where she defeated Sílvia Soler Espinosa, before losing to Peng Shuai in the second round.

Kulichkova made her major debut at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships by defeating Yanina Wickmayer (3–6, 7–6, 10–8), before losing to eventual quarterfinalist Madison Keys in the second round (4–6, 6–7). Then, she reached semifinals in Bursa. In the first round at Baku, she was close to defeat top-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova but she lost the final tie-breaker.

For the first time Kulichkova was nominated for the Russia Fed Cup team in 2016 in the World Group play-offs against Belarus. She should have played the last dead rubber with Elena Vesnina, but she was replaced by Daria Kasatkina.
