American rapper and singer Redfoo has taken a surprise career change, sharing that he participated in his first professional tennis tournament.
Stefan Kendal Gordy, the son of Berry Gordy Jr, commonly known as Redfoo, best known for party rocking with LMFAO, made his professional tennis debut at the M15 Sharm El Sheikh tournament in Egypt during the ITF Men’s World Tennis Tour.
People reports that Redfoo won his first set of the qualifying round 6-0. He continued through the tournament, eventually playing against Norwegian player Leyton Rivera. He lost the 43-minute match in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0.
Following the loss, he wrote on Instagram: “I lost the match, but this was my best point. Good match and good luck, Leyton Rivera.” He also shared a video of said shot – check that out below.
The self-proclaimed “tennis baller” has tried his hand at tennis before. In 2013, Redfoo attempted to participate in the US Open.
