Ben Shelton doesn't trust radar gun on 159 mph serve

Ben Shelton's got jokes! The 22-year-old is the latest to dunk on the unrealistic "morning routine" of Florida-based finess influencer Ashton Hall, which has racked up more than 1 billion views on social media and spawned copy-cat clips by everyone from politicians and Saturday Night Live, to singer Ed Sheeran and the Miami Heat's mascot, Burnie.

Competing this week in Monte Carlo, Shelton centers his spoof on the centerpiece of Hall's bonkers five-minute long clip, which proclaims he starts his day at 3:52 a.m., sprints on the treadmill at sunrise, and sees him repeatedly dunk his head into a bowl full of Saratoga Spring Water.

Pounding the pavement and huffing and puffing through the scenic views of Monte Carlo at "4:15 a.m.," Shelton later dispatches words of wisdom to a "fan," who can be seen taking copious notes. (Or is he?)

"I'm telling you bro ... write this down: go to sleep 8 p.m., wake up 3 a.m., ice water on the face. That's it. Success," Shelton says.

Shelton's video was produced in part by Overtime Tennis, a sports digital media company that caters specifically to the Gen Z fan—but taking a funny shot at influencers isn't all that the American is doing on the 'gram these days.

Last month, he launched his relationship with soccer player Trinity Rodman on the platform, in a moment that Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe said we should've all seen coming.

Despite losing his first singles match at the ATP Masters 1000 to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Shelton is finding success of a different sort on the doubles court with Rohan Bopanna. The first-time pair is through to the quarterfinals.
