She has won six doubles titles on the WTA Tour, two coming at Palermo, where she won with Giulia Casoni in 2005, and again with Darya Kustova in 2007. She won the 2008 ASB Classic with Lilia Osterloh. She was also the runner-up in doubles at Kolkata in 2007, where she lost the singles final, and lost the doubles final with Alberta Brianti to Vania King and Alla Kudryavtseva.

In the second round of qualifying for the 2008 Kremlin Cup Koryttseva beat Anastasia Pivovarova 6-3 6-7 7-5 in 3 hours and 55 minutes, making it the third longest match in the open era.
