The US Open is in full swing, for the moment with the qualifying phase. At the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, the largest premiere fund in history is offered. However, the American tennis player Sachia Vickery (30 years old, 559 WTA) has an additional source of income.
At Flushing Meadows, the awards fund amounts to no less than 77 million euros, an amount higher than the one allocated this year at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The simple participation on the main panel provides a check for 94,000 euros. Vickery has not yet arrived there, the American having to cross the qualifying tournament.
Vickery, the 559 place in the world ranking, has already passed a qualifying tour, defeating Ukrainian in two sets, 7-5, 7-5. The American tennis player has to win two matches to access the seventh time on the main panel at the US Open.
Sachia Vickery, present on an adult platform
If he fails, the American has a safety net. It has an account on a platform where users can buy, for a fee, images and videos, some with prohibited content to minors. Vickery has opened his account this year and charges a monthly subscription of 10 euros.
It describes its content as “too spicy for Instagram”. “I have always tested the limits,” Vickery explained the decision to join the platform.
Meetings for a fee
She claims that “she has no more meetings.” In a session of questions and answers on the Instagram account, Sachia shocked her fans: “Now I ask for an advance before the meeting: send me $ 1,000 and we arrange. I don't do this because of the behavior of men.”
Vickery confessed that he wants to do “other things outside of tennis.” “I'm starting to explore more opportunities in social media,” she added. In January he made his debut on the platform where fans can see private images for a fee: “It has become a real success. The fact that the tennis game has certainly helped marketing,” the American, according to Sportnuws.nl.
“I feel comfortable with this. It works very well. Of course, I also receive negative feedback, but it is normal. Whatever you do in life, there will always be criticism. Even if I do nothing, I would still be criticized, so I better get on the platform and make money from it,” she clarified.

Sachia Vickery was a great hope of American tennis, a national junior champion. The best busy place was 73, in July 2018.
In the Grand Slam tournaments he never exceeded the second round. At the US Open, a competition where he is trying to reach the main panel, stopped in round 2 at the 2013, 2017, 2020 and 2023 editions.
