US Open: American tennis player shocks with "hot money" job

Vickery, 30, currently ranked 559th in the WTA rankings, has just returned to competition after months of absence. In the first qualifying round of the 2025 US Open, she defeated Anastasiya Soboleva and continued to hope to play in the hard-court Grand Slam, where the champion will receive up to $5 million.

Off the court, she has also made a huge income in a completely different way. However, what has caused a stir is the way the tennis player asserted that she is "no longer dating for free" and is making money from the OnlyFans platform.

According to her Instagram, Vickery charges $1,000 for a date and $12.99 a month for fans to access private content. In 14 years of professional competition, she has earned just over $2 million in prize money, but admits that her new career is “easier and more lucrative.”

This move immediately received fierce criticism from a segment of tennis fans, who said that Vickery's actions went against the inherent standard image of tennis.

The former world No. 73 responded with the affirmation: "This is the easiest money I've ever made in my life, and I'm enjoying it. I've always wanted to push the envelope, I've been outspoken about racism, bodyshaming online. I want to do more than tennis. I started the account in January, and it's exploded. Being a tennis player is a great way to promote myself."

In fact, Vickery is not the first tennis player to join OnlyFans. Previously, Nick Kyrgios and Alexandre Muller also collaborated with this platform, causing a lot of controversy. Or French tennis player Alexandre Muller, world number 38, also has a deal with this platform and often wears shirts with this platform's logo.

Once considered a promising talent in American tennis, Vickery's career has declined in recent years.

However, the US Open is still the tournament where she left many impressions when she reached the second round 4 times.

Vickery will now continue his qualifying journey, alongside the off-field drama.
