Sachia Vickery came across a rough patch on social media platforms after revealing her intentions to open a profile on the internet content subscription service Onlyf**s. To much amazement, this ‘shock’ update wasn’t all that irked fans.

Ranked 208 in the world, Vickery hasn’t enjoyed much success on the tour. Despite kicking off the 2024 season on a positive note by finishing semifinalist at ITF Grade 1 in Mexico, the American player experienced a sharp drop in form in the months that followed. She couldn’t surpass the qualifying rounds of ITF or tour-level events and when she did, Vickery couldn’t move past the Round of 16 on the big stage.

She even commenced her 2025 campaign from down under as she faced a qualifying round exit at the ASB Classic in Auckland. Hoping to thwart concerns surrounding her performance, the 29-year-old entered the Australian Open as a qualifier and registered a hard-fought three-set victory over Aoi Ito in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, to advance in the second qualifying tie. However, the American sent shockwaves in the tennis community after seemingly clarifying her priorities a day before her main draw quest in Melbourne.

Vickery dropped a bombshell of an update after hinting at starting an Onlyf**s account by addressing her fans: “DM me what type of OF content y’all want me to start with”, baffling fans into questioning her priorities. The unexpected update came moments before she conducted an online Q&A session for fans.

Sachia Vickery gets trolled by fans following Onlyf**s update – “Girl priorities?”

Fans were puzzled following Sachia Vickery’s surprise revelation of starting an Onlyf**s account and subsequently, fans took to X to blast that the World No. 208. One fan questioned her choice of preparation for her second qualifying round at the Australian Open.“Girl, the qualies are right around the corner??” read the tweet with a string of crying emojis. Another fan put forth a similar concern saying, “Isn’t she literally playing AO qualies..? Girl priorities???”

Truth be told, fans have a valid point. The ‘Happy Slam’, like any other top-tier major event, invites the most formidable challenges from competitors, battling to clinch glory at Melbourne Park. Any deviance from training and focus before showdowns can adversely affect players’ chances at the hardcourt event. In the case of Vickery, these concerns take immense priority, seeing as she hasn’t enjoyed much success on the Grand Slam stage.

Another user posted yet another question about her upcoming commitment at the AO, “girl the slam qualis???”. One fan discredited her move saying, “Oh nah”, while another took a dig at the shock update by hilariously pointing out that the paychecks from her pre-mature exits from the WTA events can only last so long, prompting her to take up a side hustle. “Those qualies checks can only go so far… go head Sachia!”

While some lament Vickery’s future move, others might see it as a smart payout. For now, the American player will lock horns with Japanese Sayaka Ishii for a place in the main draw of the AO on Wednesday, January 8.
