US Open hopeful makes stunning sex-work admission

American sports star Sachia Vickery rocked the tennis world earlier this year by turning to OnlyFans. However, the 30-year-old has now made another stunning admission.

With the US Open qualifiers getting underway this week, Vickery is one of the many players hoping to seal their spot in the main draw.

The winner of the Grand Slam will walk away with a staggering $5million cheque, though it’s fair to say that Vickery is already making bank online.

The tennis star, who is breaking new ground in a sport that typically demands certain standards from its players, charges $12.99 a month on OnlyFans.

For that price, subscribers get access to steamy content of the player, including shower videos, strip teases and spicy pictures.

Dates for cash

Throughout her sporting career, Vickery has won just over $2million in prize money.

Nevertheless, the tennis star recently revealed in an Instagram Q&A that she charges a $1,000 deposit fee for dates.

She explained: “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.”

Vickery has just under 40,000 followers, but the reaction from the wider tennis community has not been an entirely positive one.

Vickery wants to ‘explore’ other opportunities

While Vickery’s decision to join OnlyFans sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets.

The 30-year-old defended herself on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year.

“I’m still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis,” she said. “I’m starting to explore more opportunities on social media.”

The American added: “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. Then you have the other complete extreme, which I’m not. I’m in that middle gap.

“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.”

‘Easiest money I’ve ever made’

Vickery, who is ranked 559th, beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying on Tuesday.

The American also hit back at her critics during her Instagram Q&A.

She said: “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.”

“I will never talk s**t 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.”
