Evgenia Borisovna Kulikovskaya (Russian: Евгения Борисовна Куликовская; born 21 December 1978) is a former professional tennis player from Russia.
She reached her highest singles ranking of No. 91 in June 2003.[1] She had more success in doubles, winning four doubles titles on the WTA Tour and reaching the top 50.
A rarity among tennis players, Kulikovskaya is ambidextrous; she played with two forehands and no backhand, switching her racket hand depending on where the ball was coming from.[2]
