Former LMFAO star Redfoo, whose real name is Stefan Gordy, made his professional tennis debut at the age of 49 in an ITF M15 tournament in Egypt. Despite losing to Norway's Leyton Rivera, Redfoo celebrated the milestone and shared his experience online.
Former LMFAO star Redfoo has made his professional tennis debut at the age of 49. A long-time fan of the sport after playing as a junior before music took over, Redfoo — who plays under his real name Stefan Gordy — has made sporadic appearances in amateur events over the years. But he reached a new high with a wildcard entry into an ITF M15 tournament, the first level in the pro ranks, in Egypt this week.
“Good match and good luck Leyton.” Rivera wrote: “Thank you, it was a pleasure.” Redfoo picked up tennis for the first time since his teenage years when LMFAO wound down in 2012, not long after they had hit the big time. He quickly became a prominent spectator at top tennis events. Redfoo and world No.1 Victoria Azarenka dated from 2012 and 2014 and he was on hand to watch the superstar win the Australian Open in 2013.
