Victoria Azarenka’s fans were left in disbelief as they witnessed her former boyfriend, Stefan Kendal Gordy, famously known as Redfoo, supporting Azarenka’s opponent, Peyton Stearns, at a recent match during the Miami Open 2024. The surprising turn of events took place as Azarenka faced off against American tennis star Peyton Stearns in a thrilling match.

While Azarenka’s fans were eagerly anticipating the display of skill from the Belarusian tennis sensation, it was Redfoo’s presence at a different seating point in the gallery that stole the spotlight. Redfoo, known for his career as an American rapper and singer, was once romantically involved with Azarenka, and their relationship garnered significant attention, especially within the tennis community. The couple, who dated from 2012 to 2014, even considered engagement before parting ways.

Despite their past relationship, Redfoo has maintained his enthusiasm for tennis. His attendance at the Miami Open tournament, however, came with a surprising twist. Photos shared by the official X (formerly Twitter) account of a reliable tennis journalist revealed Redfoo seated in Peyton Stearns’s gallery box, visibly supporting the American tennis star. One tennis fan shared the image with a caption that read, “Former Azarenka’s boyfriend Redfoo supporting Azarenka’s opponent Stearns in Miami.”

This wasn’t the first instance of Redfoo supporting Stearns. Previously, he was spotted at the prestigious BNP Paribas Open 2024, cheering for Stearns as she competed against Belarusian tennis prodigy Aryna Sabalenka. On both occasions, Redfoo sat with Stearns’s team, showing his allegiance to the American WTA player.

The presence of Redfoo at Stearns’s matches has sparked curiosity and intrigue among fans, particularly due to his history with Azarenka. Following their breakup in 2014, Azarenka’s performance on the tennis court faced a downturn. Redfoo’s support for her opponents has not gone unnoticed, and it has received backlash from Azarenka’s loyal fanbase.

The unexpected sight of Victoria Azarenka’s ex-boyfriend backing her opponent serves as a reminder of the complexities within the world of sports and relationships. While players strive for victory on the court, off-court dynamics can sometimes take center stage, captivating fans and adding an extra layer of drama to the game.
