Redfoo is taking shots at a career in tennis. The LMFAO artist, who catapulted his way through the charts with hits like "Shots," "Sexy and I Know It" and "Party Rock Anthem," has put the microphone down and picked up a racket.

Stefan “Redfoo” Gordy, 49-year-old son of Motown Records founder Barry Gordy and one half of party-rocking dance-rap novelty hitmakers LMFAO, is an aspiring tennis star. For a few years in the ’10s, Redfoo was dating the Belarusian tennis star Victoria Azarenka when she was the #1-ranked women’s player in the world.

They were a proto-viral musical comet, but Redfoo resurfaced this week for an unlikely reason—his attempt at a tennis career. The ex-boyfriend of Belarusian two-time major champion Victoria Azarenka played in the International Tennis Federation's M15 Sharm El Sheikh tournament this past week in Egypt.

Redfoo, the wild-haired performer, is making netizens have a field day on social media with their funny reaction. It all started when he made his pro tennis debut in Egypt at an international tournament.

Redfoo, famous for being a member of the music duo LMFAO, made his professional tennis debut, but it was short-lived. The 49-year-old received a wildcard to play in the ITF M15 tournament in Egypt, but lost 6-1 6-0 to Norway’s Leyton Rivera.
