In the Australian Open, Rodionova lost to then world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the first round. At the Pattaya Open, she advanced to the second round where she played fourth seed Maria Kirilenko. Rodionova was two points from winning before Kirilenko fought back for victory in a final-set tiebreak. Rodionova fared even better in doubles, winning the title alongside Sania Mirza. The doubles crown in Pattaya marked Rodionova's fourth WTA doubles title. At the Premier Qatar Open, she did not play singles. Instead, she played in doubles with Nuria Llagostera Vives as the fifth seeds. They lost in the semifinals to Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears in three sets. She then fell in qualifying of the Dubai Championships, BNP Paribas Open, and Sony Ericsson Open. Rodionova then lost to Alizé Cornet in the second round of an ITF tournament.
