editAt the 2023 Australian Open, Kudermetova advanced to her first Grand Slam main draw on her qualifying debut by conquering compatriot Anastasia Gasanova, Katie Boulter, and Asia Muhammad in the final qualifying round.[1][2][3][4] She lost to local wildcard Olivia Gadecki in the first round.
At the 2023 Korea Open, she reached the quarterfinals defeating sixth seed Alycia Parks and Kathinka von Deichmann.

Notes
edit- ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
- ^ a b c The final was abandoned due to poor weather. Both players split ranking points and prize money.[11]
