Kudermetova reached consecutive $10k finals at Antalya at the start of the year, and after several strong performances, she cracked the world's top 500 for the first time in her career. Playing in her first $100k tournament at the President's Cup, she reached the quarterfinals before falling to compatriot and eventual champion Vitalia Diatchenko.

2016: Success on the ITF Circuit, WTA Challenger debut
After a lackluster start to the year, Kudermetova made her first final of the year at Andijan in May. It was followed by consecutive $25k titles in Imola and Astana, ensuring that she moved into the world's top 300 for the first time. A fourth final of the season in Telavi marked Kudermetova's continuous rise. Her ranking soon made it possible for a direct admission into the main draw of the Taipei Challenger, her debut on the WTA 125K series. She won her first match against Varatchaya Wongteanchai before losing in the second round.
Overall, she enjoyed a 34-18 win/loss record in 2016, with a total of two ITF titles. Her year-end ranking improved by a total of 190 spots, ending the year at the 210th spot.

Another big win soon followed as she beat defending champion Anett Kontaveit in the first round of the Rosmalen Grass Court Championships.[9] Furthermore, she went on to stun Belinda Bencic in her next match, reaching her first WTA quarterfinal. She soon reached yet another WTA quarterfinal at the Ladies Championship Gstaad, where she defeated Viktória Kužmová before falling to Eugenie Bouchard in straight sets.[10]

Billie Jean King Cup

However, she was beaten by the lower-ranked Ana Bogdan[84] and Jaqueline Cristian.[85] Nonetheless, Russia still managed to triumph 3-2 in the tie and book their spot in the Finals.

Playing style
Kudermetova employs a highly aggressive playing style with an all-court game. Her serve is powerful, being recorded as high as 114 mph (183 km/h), allowing her to serve multiple aces per match; a tendency to take risks on her second serve leads to a relatively high double fault count at times. Her forehand and backhand are both hit flat, with relentless depth and pace. She generates considerable racquet head speed when hitting her forehand, allowing her to generate power consistently with this shot. Due to her aggressive playing style, Kudermetova accumulates significant numbers of both winners and unforced errors in any given match. She likes to take the ball early on the rise, allowing her to dominate baseline rallies. Kudermetova is a strong volleyer, and will frequently choose to approach the net to finish rallies and attack short balls; she will sometimes choose to serve and volley to surprise her opponents. She is a quick and nimble mover, allowing her to hit winners from any position on the court.
Endorsements
After wearing Nike and Asics clothes without any personal contract with the brands, Kudermetova became endorsed by Armani for clothing in 2020, although she still uses Nike footwear.[87] For racquets, Kudermetova is endorsed by Wilson, specifically using the Wilson Blade 98 racquet.
Personal life
Kudermetova is married to her coach Sergei Demekhine, who previously coached Vera Zvonareva.[88] They started dating in 2015 despite Demekhine being involved as her coach since 2012, on which Kudermetova commented in 2020: "At the age of 16 I just liked him but I didn't even think about anything more. Probably, it's my upbringing that affected. Such thoughts had been unacceptable to me".[89]
