US Open star Sachia Vickery's sex-work confession sends shockwaves through tennis world
American tennis player Sachia Vickery may be attempting to qualify for the US Open this week where a staggering $5million awaits the champion, but away from the court she's already raking in the cash. That's because Vickery, 30, 'no longer dates for free.' The American, ranked No. 559, played her first match since February on Tuesday when she beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying. However, Vickery has discovered more lucrative means of keeping herself busy over the past few months - and they don't require her to swing a racket. In fact, they are far from the customs of the traditionally upper class sport, that demands certain standards of its players. The athlete, who has 'God First' written in her Instagram bio, has carved out a successful side career, selling steamy photos of herself and charging men to date her. Vickery joined adult content side OnlyFans earlier this year, breaking the news to her stunned fans in a bombshell update on her Instagram. Sachia Vickery of the United States plays a forehand in her match against Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic during 2020 Australian Open Qualifying at Melbourne Park on January 18, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia 'Tennis anyone? OF link in my bio Big project and features coming soon ( p.s happy Valentine's Day ),' the shocking 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,' strip teases 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 demands a $1,000 deposit fee just 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 39,4000 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. However, Vickery has faced harsh criticism from traditional tennis fans, who have brutally torn into her over the decision. 'Who the f*** is going to take Sachia Vickery on a date or even pay to take her on a date when she has let dudes see her naked for less than a price of a happy meal,' one post read. 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. For $12.99 a month, OnlyFans subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram' '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.' Vickery, whose father Rawle is a former soccer player and brother Dominque Mitchell played football at South Carolina State, turned professional in 2011 after training with USTA and Mouratoglou Academy in France. But her career peaked back in 2018, when she managed a career-high ranking of World No 73. She has insisted that she is still pursing her tennis career while exploring other opportunities Now, the Florida native has slumped to No 559, without a single victory to her name. She failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January, stumbling in the third round of qualifying, and skipped Roland Garros and Wimbledon all together. However, she appears to save her best performances for the US Open with her best Grand Slam record coming in New York. She's made the second round of the tournament four times. Vickery is far from the first tennis player to have flirted with an alternate career on the x-rated website to fund their tennis ambitions. The sport's renowned babd boy, Nick Kyrgios, raised eyebrows earlier this year when he signed onto a saucy OnlyFans collaboration after his breakup from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who publicly split from his girlfriend of four years in March, hosted a new reality series for OnlyFans TV alongside adult entertainers Sophie Stonehouse and Rachel Starr in June. Titled Smash City, the series saw OnlyFans creators, including Vickery, battle it out on the pickle ball court to win $20,000. Kyrgios first joined OnlyFans in 2023, revealing in a statement that he wanted fans to see 'all different sides' of him after an injury saw him sidelined from his sport. Frenchman Alexandre Muller, the world No 38, also has a deal with the platform, even donning the OnlyFans logo on his kit on occasion. In his OnlyFans bio, Muller brands himself the 'sexiest professional tennis player.' Ashley Harkelroad, a former world No 39, briefly joined the site in 2022, while Australian Arina Rodionova signed up earlier this year after splitting from her husband Ty Vickery, the former Australian rules footballer with whom she tied the knot in December 2015. Meanwhile, Vickery is back in action in the Big Apple as she pauses her x-rated extracurricular activities to take on Germany's Ella Seidel in the second round of US Open qualifying.
