‘I haven’t won a tennis match in five months – now I’ve joined OnlyFans’

A professional tennis star has joined OnlyFans to offer followers a unique insight into her battle to end a five-month losing streak. Chloe Paquet has tasted defeat in her last eight matches, having failed to win since reaching the quarter-finals of the Bolivia Open in October.

She enjoyed a strong 2024, reaching a career-high WTA ranking of 96 and qualifying for the main draws of two Grand Slam events. However, a dramatic slide in form means she is still waiting for her first victory of 2025. Her most recent outing was at the Dubai Tennis Championships, where she was beaten in the first qualifying round.

As she continues to train hard in the hope of returning to winning ways, Paquet has joined OnlyFans to offer her supporters a glimpse behind the scenes. She was convinced to join the platform after speaking with fellow French player Alexandre Muller, who set up his own profile last year.

“He told me only good things about it,” Paquet told Express Sport. “I really like the idea of OnlyFans to create a really good environment to connect the fans and the athletes. I want to show a little bit behind the scenes.

“Everybody watches tennis tournaments but they don’t know exactly what life is like behind, so I want to show a little bit of that for the fans. I think it’s a really good idea. I will post on here about my tennis life. I want to show the fans how I practice.

“I want to show what kind of fitness I do. I also want to show what I am before the match or after the match. Sometimes we don’t have the interview at a lot of tournaments, so I want to show a little bit how I can react after I lose or after I win.

“Also, I want to show the life with the sponsor, what we have to do, all the shooting. I think it can be nice for them to see a little bit more of this life.”

Paquet is the latest in a string of high-profile tennis players to join OnlyFans, with Nick Kyrgios perhaps the biggest name to have made the switch.

“I don’t know him personally but he’s a really good name in our sport,” she said. “It’s really important to have a lot of tennis players. I think in the future we will have more and more athletes, for sure. It’s going to be the future to connect the fans and the athletes.”

The platform has gained an unwanted reputation for hosting adult content over the years, but Paquet hopes that perception will change with the growing number of athletes becoming involved.

“It’s going to help a lot,” she explained. “It’s an inclusive platform and, more and more, there are sports fans on the platform. Of course, for me it’s a huge opportunity also to generate a little bit of salary to help with my career, so it’s really nice.”

Paquet will soon be hoping to give her followers a long-awaited win to celebrate, having taken the time to reflect and figure out where things have been going wrong.

“Maybe I made a mistake with my schedule,” she admitted. “I wanted to play bigger tournaments and maybe I was not fresh enough, so I think I made a mistake, but it was nice to have the support of my tennis federation to give me some wildcards.

“It’s tough because this is my life. I really don’t feel good on court for the last four months and also during practice. It was really strange because normally I can play badly but during practice it’s better. For the last four or five months now, both were really bad.

“I’m getting better now. It’s the best part of the year for me. Clay is more natural for me. Maybe for the last 15 days I feel better, so I am much more confident than the beginning of the year. We’ll see. I think a good thing will happen for me.

“I want to have a better year, to reach a new best ranking. My goal for sure is to maybe be in the second week of a Grand Slam. It would be really nice and I hope it will be at Roland Garros.”
