Sachia Vickery, the tennis player who combines the US Open with OnlyFans: "It's the easiest money I've ever made."

Elite sport requires extreme sacrifice that not everyone is willing to endure. If success comes, the reward is enormous, but if not, the exhaustion can be total. In recent years, many athletes have found an easy alternative in creating adult content online, on platforms like OnlyFans , as former Top 100 tennis player Sachia Vickery has done, combining the US Open with the popular adult platform.

This is what a player who has been present at the US Open facilities these days trying to get a place in the qualifying round, in which she was ultimately eliminated, is advertising on her social media and announcing it in her latest statements. "I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going, but I also want to do things beyond tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media ," commented a player who has suffered a notable drop in the rankings in recent years at the start of this season.

And despite having placed in the top 100 a few years ago and pocketing some €2.3 million in prize money, the player now finds herself below the top 500 in the world.

Thus, OnlyFans quickly became a source of extra income for her: "I started it in January and it grew really fast . Being a tennis player definitely helped my exposure. I'm at a stage where I don't show everything, but I feel comfortable enough. I'm doing really well."

Sachia also has no problem sharing her earnings on the platform: "I will never speak badly of the girls on OnlyFans again in my life. Because the amount I earned in the first two days overwhelmed me. I'm actually surprised. I'm very open-minded and don't care what people think about me ... plus, it's the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it."

She claims to also go on dates with some of her fans, pocketing around $1,000 for each one. "I no longer give free dates because of the men's behavior. Now I need a deposit before the date. Send me $1,000 and we can make it happen ," says a tennis player who, despite criticism, prefers "to be on the platform and make money."
