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.

LMFAO's Redfoo is getting back out on the court, this time making his professional tennis debut in Egypt after previously attempting to compete in the 2013 U.S. Open. The rapper played Norway's Leyton Rivera during the Sharm El Sheikh tournament.

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.

Stefan "Redfoo" Gordy, known from LMFAO, made his professional tennis debut at 49 in an ITF M15 tournament in Egypt (Sharm El-Sheikh).

Stefan “Redfoo” Gordy, 49-year-old son of Motown Records founder Berry 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.

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.
