Arina Ivanovna Rodionova (Russian: Арина Ивановна Родионова; born 15 December 1989 in Tambov) is a Russian-born Australian professional tennis player.
Rodionova has won seven singles and twenty-five doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 24 May 2010, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 157. On 27 July 2015, she peaked at world number 41 in the doubles rankings.
Rodionova's elder sister Anastasia is also a tennis professional, and the two sisters have intermittently contested doubles tournaments with modest success. Their most notable achievement as a team came at the 2010 Malaysian Open, in which they reached the final before losing to Chan Yung-jan and Zheng Jie in a super tie-break.
Rodionova made her debut as a professional in 2004 at an ITF event in Protvino, Russia. In 2005, she won a title in Minsk, followed by another win in Moscow the following year. In 2007, Rodionova and Evgeniya Rodina won the Australian Open Girl's Doubles title. In 2008, she finished as a runner-up in an ITF event in Istanbul. In 2009, Rodionova won 2 ITF titles in singles and 8 in doubles.
In 2010, Rodionova defeated Jarmila Groth in the final of a $25K tournament in Burnie. In doubles, she advanced to the final of the WTA-level 2010 Malaysian Open with her sister Anastasia. Although they defeated No. 1 seeds Alisa Kleybanova and Yan Zi along the way, the sisters lost the final match to Yung-jan Chan and Zheng Jie in a close three sets. She reached her career-high ranking of World No. 157 on 24 May 2010.
