American tennis player Sachia Vickery has made headlines at the US Open qualifiers not only for her game but also for her decision to join OnlyFans. The 30-year-old, once ranked as high as world No 73 in 2018, explained that she turned to the platform during an injury break to help cover the high costs of competing professionally, including travel, training, and healthcare.
Vickery said she found the move necessary and does not regret it, describing OnlyFans as “the easiest money I’ve ever made.” She made clear that her content is suggestive but not explicit, with her representative stating that it does not involve nudity or sexual acts. For her, the platform is a way to keep her tennis career alive and not a replacement for it.
She also made waves by sharing her personal policy on dating, revealing that she now requires a $1,000 deposit for anyone who wants to take her on a date. She said this was to protect herself after negative experiences in the past and even showed proof of receiving such a payment.
Despite earning about $2 million in career prize money, Vickery said professional tennis does not guarantee financial stability for players outside the top rankings. By using OnlyFans, she has been able to maintain her independence and continue pursuing the sport she loves.
Her decision has sparked debate in the tennis world, but Vickery insists she feels empowered and supported by her choice. She remains focused on competing and sees this step as simply part of her journey, both on and off the court.
