LMFAO singer Redfoo has made his professional tennis debut - at the age of 49. The pop star faced off with Norway's Leyton Rivera at an ITF M15 tournament in Egypt on Wednesday. Redfoo - who competed under his real name Stefan Gordy - received a wildcard entry into the competition. The Sexy And I Know It star was a promising tennis player in his youth. But he opted for a career in music after sustaining a wrist injury during his teens.

Redfoo put up a decent fight in the hard-court contest, taking a game off the world No. 1299. But ultimately he was unable to progress after a 6-1, 6-0 loss. The LMFAO singer uploaded a short clip of a lengthy rally to his 540,000 Instagram fans. He wrote: "I lost the match but this was my best point. "Good match and good luck Leyton.".
