American tennis player – and rising OnlyFans<\/a> star – Sachia Vickery has hit out at Jelena Ostapenko following her racism scandal at the US Open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, fellow American Taylor Townsend, who is black, had an intense back and forth with Ostapenko after beating her in straight sets in New York City<\/a>, with her opponent claiming she had ‘no class’ and ‘no education’ when they shook hands.<\/p>\n

The world No 26 has denied that her comments were racist, instead stressing that she was referencing tennis etiquette amid a dispute over a shot which clipped the net before she lost the point.<\/p>\n

After being accused of racism, Ostapenko initially rejected those allegations in her first response on social media, before she took to Instagram for a second time on Saturday to issue an apology.<\/p>\n

Now, Vickery – who also made headlines during the tournament for her antics away from the court – has weighed in on the matter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On The Wayne Ayers Podcast<\/a>, she said: ‘I’ve played Ostapenko before years ago and I think my take is that she’s not anyone that’s new to that type of drama.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ostapenko <\/p>\n

Ostapenko told black American player Townsend that she has ‘no education and no class’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Like a lot of matches that she loses, you know, she’ll like half shake your hand, like not look you in the eye. You know, she’ll make like a comment at the net. Like that’s something she’s been doing for years, honestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I think the main thing was calling a black woman in America uneducated. Saying things like, you have no class, you have no education.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Maybe she didn’t realize. Like, not knowing the full culture, the history. But yeah, it was just low to say something like that in her home tournament, home crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Taylor handled that a lot better than I would have because I’d probably be suspended from the tour to be honest’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vickery appeared to hint she’d have taken a violent response to Ostapenko, as she said: ‘I would have took her to the ghetto university, what Kanye said. I would have showed her what that Broward County do – real quick’.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old made headlines throughout the tournament after her career as an OnlyFans model came to light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Florida<\/a> native, who charges $12.99 a month for access to what she calls ‘content too spicy for Instagram’, has faced sharp criticism since joining the x-rated platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some fans claim she’s tarnishing the sport but Vickery insists her OnlyFans success has helped keep her tennis career alive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Vickery, <\/p>\n

Vickery, meanwhile, has made headlines at the US Open amid her OnlyFans endeavours\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old, currently ranked No. 559 in the world, has faced backlash from fans after revealing she had joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year<\/p>\n

‘When you’re on tour you’re not automatically making a ton of money,’ Vickery told the New York Post\u00a0<\/a>from Flushing Meadows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Yes, I have done very well throughout my career. I’ve made great investments from the time I was young, so you know, it’s like I’m fine.<\/p>\n

‘But at the same time, tennis players spend $100K plus a year on coaching, hotels, food, training, physio. So if I have another avenue where I’m able to make a lot of money to support that, you know, I don’t see anything negative with it, personally.’<\/p>\n

Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she demands a $1,000 deposit fee just to date her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s an expensive sport, so I invest a lot of my money from there back into tennis, and I think that’s one thing people don’t understand. They think I’m just doing it to do it,’ she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s a great moneymaker. It’s a great investment. If I have the potential to make a lot of money on there, why am I not going to take it? It’s giving me a better life.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American tennis player – and rising OnlyFans star – Sachia Vickery has hit out at Jelena Ostapenko following…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,100,1202,588,85,747,12741],"class_list":["post-114241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-dailymail","tag-instagram","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-us-open-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
