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.”
