Sachia Vickery Serves Up a New Game Plan for Dating
Professional tennis player
Sachia Vickery is making headlines off the court with her bold approach to modern romance. The 29-year-old athlete has taken an unconventional stance on dating, announcing she’s done accepting dates “for free due to the behavior of men.”
Vickery’s game-changing move? A $1,000 pre-date deposit requirement. “I’m not wasting my time anymore,” she declared. “If someone wants to take me out, they need to show they’re serious about it. Actions speak louder than words.”
This boundary-setting approach extends beyond dating into her business ventures, including her OnlyFans account, where she maintains control over her personal brand and income streams. Her strategy reflects a growing trend among athletes and celebrities who are redefining traditional relationship dynamics while building financial independence.
