A right-handed player from Moscow, Kotkina was a top 10 ranked junior. At the 2004 French Open, she and Yaroslava Shvedova were runners-up in the girls' doubles, to Kateřina Böhmová and Michaëlla Krajicek.[1]

On the professional circuit she reached a best singles ranking of 400 in the world. She featured in one WTA Tour main draw, as a wildcard at the 2006 İstanbul Cup, where she retired hurt while trailing Michaëlla Krajicek in the first round, due to an elbow injury.[2]
