Tennis Pro Sachia Vickery Claps Back at Critics Over OnlyFans Move
Avery Sinclair here, your favorite cynic with a penchant for calling out the absurdities of modern fame. If you’re expecting sugarcoated fluff or celebrity worship, turn back now.
Oh, this should be *good*. A professional athlete—yes, one who swings rackets and runs around courts in front of thousands—has the audacity to monetize her image on a platform that’s become synonymous with side hustles and financial independence. Cue the outrage.
Sachia Vickery, 30, currently grinding through the U.S. Open 2025 qualifiers in New York City, isn’t letting public opinion dictate how she earns her money. In fact, she’s owning it—hard. And by “it,” we mean her decision to launch an OnlyFans account earlier this year, where she charges $12.99/month for exclusive content. But wait, there’s more. She also revealed she now requires a $1,000 pre-date deposit before agreeing to go out with anyone. Because apparently, free dates are dead, and capitalism is alive and well in the tennis world.
In a recent Instagram Q&A session (via *Daily Mail*), Vickery made it clear she doesn’t care what people think. “I’m very open-minded and I don’t care what people think of me,” she said. “It’s also the easiest money I’ve ever made and I enjoy doing it.” She later added, “The amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.”
Let’s not pretend this is shocking. Athletes like Nick Kyrgios and Alex Muller have already paved the way, so why shouldn’t Vickery cash in? She even credited her tennis career with helping market her OnlyFans page, telling *Black Spin Global Podcast* in June, “Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing.”
Of course, she’s not alone in the celebrity OnlyFans game. Jessie Mei Li, known for her role in *Harry Potter*, recently joined the platform too—but with a twist. Her content focuses on niche interests like hair fetishes. “This is weird and me and a bit kinky,” she admitted on her *Before We Break Up Again* podcast, clearly leaning into the unconventional nature of her new venture.
Reality star Denise Richards followed her daughter Sami Sheen onto OnlyFans after initially being unaware of the platform’s inner workings. Meanwhile, Rob Kardashian was one of the early adopters but eventually left after embracing religion in 2023. Teen Wolf actor Dylan O’Brien also tried his hand at OnlyFans but quit after finding it “mentally draining” and objectifying.
Back to Sachia. The backlash? Oh, it’s coming. But she’s ready. “I obviously gonna get some negative feedback, negative criticism,” she acknowledged. “But that’s just normal.” She continued, “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.”
And honestly, isn’t that the point? Why should athletes be expected to live off prize money alone when they can diversify their income streams? Especially when sports careers are notoriously short-lived and financially unpredictable.
So while some fans may clutch their pearls over a tennis pro charging for dates and selling content, others are nodding along, recognizing that empowerment comes in many forms—including direct monetization without middlemen profiting from your work.
Vickery’s bold stance is less about scandal and more about survival in a world where traditional revenue models for athletes are crumbling. And if she’s making bank while staying true to herself, who exactly is getting hurt?
Nothing to see here, folks. Just another woman taking control of her narrative—and her finances.
