Revealed: Nick Kyrgios made OnlyFans videos with tennis star who stunned the sport with bombshell sex-work confession
Aussie tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios has hosted a reality show for OnlyFans TV alongside American star Sachia Vickery, who this week revealed she's making a fortune by selling raunchy content on the platform. Vickery has carved out a successful side career, selling steamy photos of herself and charging men a $1000 deposit to date her. She joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year, breaking the news to her fans in a bombshell update on her Instagram. 'Tennis anyone? OF link in my bio Big project and features coming soon ( p.s happy Valentine's Day ),' the announcement read, alongside a racy snap of her in far-from-traditional tennis whites. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio, which also describes her as 'your favorite pro tennis player.' Her platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' stripteases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she asks for a $1,000 deposit fee to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,400 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. Earlier this year, Vickery starred in a four-part OnlyFans TV series, which is co-hosted by Kyrgios and reality TV star Sophie Stonehouse. It also stars adult actress Rachel Starr. The show, Smash City, sees the OnlyFans creators hit the Pickleball court in an attempt to win $20,000 in prize money. The show was first teased by Kyrgios on March 1 in a clip featuring him and Starr enjoying a pickleball game. 'Who's your money on? Tennis meets Pickleball,' the post was captioned. 'I enjoyed hosting it, and I love competition in general,' Kyrgios said. Kyrgios isn't just a fan of Pickleball - he has also invested in the on-trend sport. Vickery hit back at her critics with a raunchy post on her Instagram after the news broke. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary - and she referenced how she and Kyrgios differ in the way they use OnlyFans. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.'

Coco Gauff parts ways with her coach days before US Open campaign
Coco Gauff has reportedly split with coach Matthew Daly just days before the start of the US Open, making another shakeup to her support team on the eve of the year's final major. The move was first reported by Bounces. The world No 3 and two-time major champion will continue to work with her longtime coach Jean-Christophe Faurel but has added biomechanics specialist Gavin MacMillan to her corner. MacMillan was spotted with Gauff during a Wednesday practice session at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. MacMillan previously worked with Aryna Sabalenka, helping the world No 1 overcome her serving yips in 2022 and refine her forehand. Gauff has struggled with her own serve this summer, notably hitting 42 double faults in three matches at the Canadian Open earlier this month. Daly, a grip specialist, confirmed his departure after a little more than a year in the role. He joined Gauff's team last autumn after she parted ways with Brad Gilbert, focusing on altering her grip and adjusting technical details. The changes initially paid off: Gauff captured the China Open title and closed 2024 by winning the WTA Finals. This season she added a second major at the French Open and reached the finals at both Madrid and Rome. But inconsistency has returned in recent months. Since her Paris triumph she has won just four singles matches, including a surprise first-round exit at Wimbledon. Daly, speaking to Bounces, said only: 'Only have good things to say about Coco, enjoyed working with her.' Gauff, 21, has yet to publicly comment on the staff changes. She is due to play in a Thursday night exhibition at Arthur Ashe Stadium before the US Open singles begins on Sunday.

Tom Brady gets destroyed by his friends over this picture with son Jack, 17
may be a seven-time Super Bowl champion but even he isn't safe from getting roasted by his friends - especially when his son makes him look small. The 6-foot-4 NFL legend shared a wholesome set of photos from a golf outing with his eldest son, Jack, at The Hills resort in East Quogue, New York. But it wasn't the father-son bonding that got people talking - it was Jack, 17, towering over the GOAT in a picture posted onto Brady's Instagram account. 'Everything still pretty much the same 'round here,' Brady captioned the post as he stood alongside his teenage son. That triggered an avalanche of good-natured ribbing in the comments. 'Is Jack standing on something? Besides business lol,' joked Mike Evans, Brady's former Buccaneers teammate. The NFL legend shared the picture with Jack from the golf course onto his Instagram account Rob Gronkowski chimed in: 'Jack is way more beastly than you.' Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin added to the pile-on, teasing, 'Except I heard Jack kicked your ass yesterday!!.' Fans also jumped in with disbelief, with writing: 'How is Jack taller than Tom??!'. Another joked, 'Jack just got an offer from every Power 5 school with that height and jawline combo.' Jack, who turns 18 on August 22, is Brady's son with ex Bridget Moynahan. The NFL star also shares two younger children - son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12 - with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen. Just last month, Brady appeared to take a subtle dig at Bundchen in his '199' newsletter while reflecting on parenting challenges. The NFL great, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, split from his wife of 13 years in October 2022, months after dramatically reversing his decision to retire from football. After their split was announced, Bundchen repeatedly alluded to her unhappiness at how much Brady focused on his sporting career at the cost of his family, with his unretirement said to be the tipping point. Now, in a newsletter Brady has recently started writing to his fans, the 47-year-old has said that he viewed his career as a central part of being a good father to his three children. 'I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,' Brady wrote. 'I chose to do it by playing football.' He continued: 'My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused - those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.'
