I only post under anonymous miser, rob would know since he can check IP addresses. Plus, how am i being vindictive. For the past couple months, you have been showing poor evidence to say that sharapova is under 6`1, and you attack all others who disagree with you by either going on a rant, suggesting medication to others (telling U.N. Owen to take "haloperidol", seriously grow up). Just move on already, or tell people something they haven't heard 50 times.

miser you seem almost vindictive about this. You have been commentic almost soley on this page for months now. Are you not going to move on? And btw, all your pictures of venus and sharapova have sharapova visibley bending, plus you ignore the clear 4-5 inches maria has on serena williams.

"While it's fun to argue about photos, footwear, and camera angles, I don't doubt her at her word when she says she's "about 6-2.""
Well I think the fun part of this website is exactly to "verify" if what "celebrities" claim as their height is true or not... I think most of them don't lie about it, some do. This particular case is rather cute because of the way Sharapova lies about, she augments her height too much, by about 2"... she seems like a rather clueless teenager lying about it... probably got caught up in the excitment, everyone remarks on how tall she is everywhere she goes... She really was a teenager not long ago.
"There's frankly no reason for her to exaggerate her height"
What nonsense... yes there are reasons for her to exaggerate her height, she gets more hype as someone here said and consequently more media exposure, more advertisement. In other more cash and attention.
"as our society generally does not look kindly on women taller than they're "supposed to be.""
Oh sure... look at all these "supermodels", for example. Some are arond 5-10, even 5-11 and they sure are not considered "manly" or inadequate in ANY way. If anything they are role models for most women.
"She is also significantly taller and stronger than the average man. The two are not mutually exclusive. "
She may be a bit taller than average males, but she isn't "stronger"... she's got a thin build, which is the reason she still looks feminine at that height.
U.N. Owen said on 30/Dec/08
I for one disagree with all of these calls to "downgrade" Maria. While it's fun to argue about photos, footwear, and camera angles, I don't doubt her at her word when she says she's "about 6-2." There's frankly no reason for her to exaggerate her height, as our society generally does not look kindly on women taller than they're "supposed to be."
As just about every heterosexual male would agree, Maria Sharapova is drop-dead gorgeous. She is also significantly taller and stronger than the average man. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Keep her at 6 foot 2 until she goes back-to-back with Gabby Reece barefoot. I volunteer to be a judge, BTW... :D

"Alex says on 27/Dec/08
She looks at least 6'1 with Serena though. Fine she may not be as tall as 6'2 but 6'1 may be more accurate. This 5'10-5'11 stuff seems too short for her."
Who the heck said she's 5-10? There ain't a SINGLE coment in this page saying that. And what do you mean by too short "for her"? Is she "supposed" to be a certain height? If anything she's TALLER than what she was "supposed" to be, she is way taller than both her parents. She has probably done the best out of her genetic potential, standing at 5'11½... Venuses' and Davenport's parents for example are way taller than Sharapova's.
"She is still taller than Josh Duhammel"
No she isn't. Not even on those monster heels of her. Look up the ESPN video on youtube.
"Anonymous says on 24/Dec/08
no more than 5'11, 3cm shorter than venus lol Click Here"
LOL, I suppose this picture has no "angle problem". That similar picture of her with Davenport by the net also has no angle problem. But the picture and the video of her standing side-to-side with Venus has angle problems. Get a clue already.
"Bud says on 21/Dec/08
Here she is with a modest 2-3" heel height advantage..."
A "modest" 3 inch advantage, lol... Do you consider the gap between a 5-8 and a 5-11 to be "modest"? It isn't... If we take a 6 feet tall guy and put him in a huge heels he will be about 1.90m too. SO WHAT? Does that mean he has turned into a 6-2, 6-3? Absolutely not, geez... back to earth folks.
Alex said on 27/Dec/08
She looks at least 6'1 with Serena though. Fine she may not be as tall as 6'2 but 6'1 may be more accurate. This 5'10-5'11 stuff seems too short for her.
anonymous said on 26/Dec/08
Here are a few reasons i will not believe she is anything shorter than 6`1:
She is still taller than Josh Duhammel (yes she is wearing heels, but he is 6`3.5 (6`4.5 in shoes) and she is still a half inch taller than him):
Click HereShe towers Uma Thurman by what looks to be nearly five inches (if uma is wearing flats and sharapova is wearing 3 inch heels, than it would equate to 6`2):
Click HereShe also has about 4-5 inches on 5`9ish serena williams:

miser said on 26/Dec/08
We already know the truth Randy, she's about 5'11½, 6' tops. But if you could get a picture to stamp this page, it would be good... maybe it would scare off all these crazies who desperately want to believe she is over 6'. Otherwise they will simply never give up, lol. ;)
Randy said on 26/Dec/08
Next tournament I go watch, I'll try to get a pic with her so we can finally know the truth. For now, a 1" or 1 1/5" downgrade is in order for Ms. Sharapova.
anonymous said on 25/Dec/08
there are very few pictures of maria sharapova standing straight though. in most of her photos, she is typically slouching, or leaning in. that does make her look occasionally shorter.
Andy van Karlsen said on 25/Dec/08
6'1.5 never. I thought she's 6'1.5 at max but now i know that it is impossible. She's 6'0.5-6'1
Dom said on 25/Dec/08
Maria is at least 6'1,5" but probably 6'2". I watch tennis all the time and she always looks taller than Venus and Barely shorter than Davenport. And she looks it in every pic Ive seen of her axcept maybe two pics with weird angles miser and anonymous found.

I do think the angle favored Venus a bit. Both I would think are about the same height still.

Downgrade by 1 inch MINIMUM pls!
Bud said on 23/Dec/08
She may have been 130# in 2004 when she was 6'-0" tall and won Wimby. Now, I'd say she's a couple inches taller and 165-170#.
anonymoose said on 23/Dec/08
even if Maria is 6"0.5-6"1 it doesn't matter coz she is still a very tall girl
Andy van Karlsen said on 22/Dec/08
As I said. between 183-187 ;) can we settle on 6'075 (approximately 184.5cm)? 188cm is really a joke and I don't want her to be very tall. If so I would affirm "SHE'S A GIANT SHE'S 6'2... NOOO SHE'S 6'3+ !!!!"
She's a weak 6'1 in my eyes... that's it!
Pako said on 22/Dec/08
Only in the last pics you can see Venus taller but at all the others pics Maria is taller so I think Maria is really 6'2 and Venus 6'1
Alex said on 22/Dec/08
Maria gets listed at 6'0 and 6'2. 130lbs for her you think is accurate?
anonymoose said on 22/Dec/08
Maria can be 6"1... in the Venus pics she has angle disadvantage..but hey isn't Venus listed at 6"0.5 on this site??? so Maria is either 6"0.5 or 6"1..I think both Maria and Venus r of the same height :) Maria just creates the illusion of being 6"2 but she is below it man :)
Bud said on 21/Dec/08
Here she is with a modest 2-3" heel height advantage... AND slumping (standing on 1 foot with her neck bent)... Yet, she still towers over these 3 military guys (in their chunky military shoes). The guy on the right has to be at LEAST 6' tall. I've stood next to Sharapova and she's definitely 6'-2" tall (minimum). I'm not sure why people have such a hard time believing that.

Anonymous3 said on 21/Dec/08
mister you're right. She's is right around 6feet, Venus is taller than her definitely. But one thing's for certain, she is doe growing. Even most guys don't grow past 20. Guy's are mostly done around 18,19 and maybe for late bloomers at around 20. Girl's I find it hard to grow past 20, 21, or 22. She's not going to be taller than me. I'm 6'8 according to the media and its upgradeable heights. I'd like to see her grow to 6'10 or more to tower me! hehe
miser said on 21/Dec/08
Yes Anonymous3 she will soon catch up with and then pass you, at least according to our giantess-loving friends here on this page. She will never quit growing... lol.
"miser I honestly think that you underrate her height for some reason."
Honestly I think it is OVERWHELMINGLY obvious to any rational reader that you WANT her to be very tall for some reason. Just how the HELL could she be 6'1.5 (187cm) if not even Venus Williams is that tall? Venus at the most 186cm and has maybe more than an inch on Sharapova:
Click HereEven if Venus is 186cm, Sharapova is 6 feet at best. 5'11½ more likely.
Anonymous3 said on 21/Dec/08
lol mister....catch up with me? She'll never me a legit 196cm barefoot. Since you inflated her height by like near 3 inches I'll just claim 6'8/203cm. Is she going to be having a 4th and 5th growth spurt? I high doubt it at her age. She's done growing for good at 21 turning 22 at 6'-6'1 at a stretch.
Andy van Karlsen said on 21/Dec/08
miser I honestly think that you underrate her height for some reason.
She's 100% between 6'0 and 6'1.5. Never ever at about 5'11 (ridiculous!!!) or over 6'1.5 (187cm). Even 6'0 is very tall for a woman but I think she's 6'1 or a little under (184cm). Williams is maybe a strong 6'1 186cm. Sharapova isn't more than 2cm shorter so 184cm would be correct.
Isn't there an approved voucher out there? I'm sure she lied by saying that she's 6'2 in that TV show months ago. Maybe in 1+x inch sneakers ;)
My guess (+/-1cm) is 6'0.75 (184.5-185)
miser said on 20/Dec/08
"She is MINIMUM 2.5 cm shorter than Davenport which makes here 186-187cm (6'1.5)"
This is made up.
miser said on 20/Dec/08
"The pic were Williams is taller was b4 this spurt were Sharapova was in the 5'11.5-zone +/- 0.5 inches. I think that she grew at about 3cm after that picture was shot."
The pictures of her with Venus are from January/2008. But you are right, in May she had a "growth spurt" and grew 3 cm. In august she had another, and grew another 3 cm. We can't foget to account for her third "growth spurt" of this year, which happened just last November. She grew amother 3 cm there. So she is really almost 6-4 by now. Catching up with you Anonymous3.
Andy van Karlsen said on 20/Dec/08
Hello guys.
I really read all of the posts here and I had also a look @ sum pics of here/other female tennis players.
It seems to me, that most female tennis players get a boost of 0,5-1,5 inches. The only tennis players with 100% proofed height are Williams, Davenport, Vadisova and so on.
Williams is at about 6'1 which means at about 185cm
Davenport is at about 6'2.5 189cm
So... about Sharapova let's sum up the facts:
She is MINIMUM 2.5 cm shorter than Davenport which makes here 186-187cm (6'1.5)
But... she is at about the same height (even a bit shorter) than Williams which is very strange cuz she's 185cm, hmmm...
I really don't believe that Sharapova is MORE than 187cm (6'1.5) and LESS than 183cm=6'0. It's ridiculous to read some ppl saying she's less than 6'0 or more than 6'2... this can't be true. She really had a grow spurt. The pic were Williams is taller was b4 this spurt were Sharapova was in the 5'11.5-zone +/- 0.5 inches. I think that she grew at about 3cm after that picture was shot.
Again.. SHE IS MINIMUM 6'0=183cm and MAXIMIMUM 6'1.5 187cm so I would say she is really at about 6'1. A weak 6'1 maybe 6'0.5-6'0.75.
Now stop persist in saying she is less than 183 or more than 187cm. That isn't true!
Anonymous3 said on 19/Dec/08
yea sure whatever you idiots say, but the 6'2 she is supposedly listed isn't true. She is shorter than that. She's not a legit/real 6'2. She's like barely 6 feet if at all. If you guys keep this up, that gives me the right to take my height as 6'7(201cm) or something when I'm 196cm giving me the right to upgrade myself also. So there ha. I have ways to get even
Pako said on 18/Dec/08
Sharapova 6-2 I dont see any problem with that I know a Mexican volley ball player and she is 6-5 her name is Bibians Candelas and I think she is really tall
Alex said on 17/Dec/08
5'11 for a female is the start of being VERY tall. A giant for a female would be more like 6'4-6'5 plus which would equal a 6'10 man being a giant which makes sense.
Anonymous3 said on 16/Dec/08
Mikez, I figured out, you just don't want her to be taller than you. You claim you are 6' tall and she is not over 6'.To me it looks quiet oppostie of what you say about people want girls to be giantesses, it's the other way around, and some people have hard time accepting the fact that some women/girls are over 6' tall. IMO she's 6'1 or very close to it, 184/185cm. She does look like that standing next to 189cm Davenport, and other tall men and women. Some people who saw her in person say that she's 6'1/6'2, look below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 feet FLAT MAX, 5'11.5 MORE LIKELY, I DO NOT EVER SEE a 6'2 legit picture courtesy of Sharapova. It's the industry and endorsements way of promotion. She is basically advertising products for endorsements and is given more HYPE by raising her height. 6'3 is a joke for her, why do some people say she is 6'3. Do they not know 6'3=191cm? and 6'2=188cm? Some people probably thinks 6'2 is 185cm because an inch is 2.5cm right? It's 2.54cm/inch actually. 6 feet is not 180cm, it's 183cm. A lot of people always go with 1.8m. That's barely 5'11... It's things like these that mess up legit heights and people's perspectives.
Luckily I'm well over the hot zone at 6'5+/196cm.
miser said on 15/Dec/08
"IMO she's 6'1 or very close to it, 184/185cm"
Lol, here we go again. Did you see the pictures of her next to Venus? Venus is 186cm at the very most and certainly has at least 3 cm on Sharapova. Sharapova is 183cm at the most.
"She does look like that standing next to 189cm Davenport"
Really? Where have you seen her standing next to Davenport? Post a pic if you have one(not that same old bad picture of them at the net please)
"Some people who saw her in person say that she's 6'1/6'2, look below."
Oh I met her too. I met every single individual listed in this website. Do you believe me?

Mikez and Anonymous3: yes there are a bunch of lunatics here in this website campaigning for tall women, or for the supposed tallness of many women... it really is like a movement to promote gigantism among women lol, I don't know what this is about. This website has dozens of 5'9"ish women listed as 5'11" or 6'. Maybe this is orchestrated by the National Osteoporosis Foundation? I was having an argument about this with a girl on the 'Sigourney Weaver' page here, look it up.
Just because someone doesn't agree with you they're deemed as a "lunatic"? I simply ended the conversation because you kept on rambling on just because I didn't think your pictures dispelled Sigourney's height as listed here. Or Nicole's. You kept on bringing up Sharapova and all of these other females on a Sigourney page were taller than listed. I never said they weren't-- I even mentioned some that were, yet you shot it down. I also didn't claim Sharapova was 6'2", as she's an athlete and almost all of their stats are fudged even more so than actors and actresses.
And since when was 5'11" - 6' a giant for a woman? I don't here the same for men at 6'4"+. They may not be common, but they aren't that rare. I see them quite often on my campus. But then again, I'm done arguing with you. If you can't accept the fact that others don't necessarily have to agree with your point of view, then I have nothing more to say.

Anon3 : thanks man!
Why do people want her to be a giant? Well basically her whole gimmick is being a tall blonde amazon. THATS how she makes her money. She has to stand out. She makes a lot more from endorsements than prize money.
Theres also the reason that 95% of people Ive met just cant gauge height that accurately. And id like to point out im not a hater of tall people. Im comfortable with my height. I said myself a while ago I thought djokovic was taller than the 6'2 listed. And its been updated i think since. This all started when I went to the Aus open in 07 and saw a dramatic difference in the listed heights of athletes and what they were in person. The people 6'3 and over are all legit as they have no real reason to inflate, but so many others were much smaller in person.
Anonymous3 said on 14/Dec/08
Mikez you are right man, I don't see why everyone wants her to be a giant. Why can't she just be 5-11 to 6'. It's like they are promoting giantesses or something. She would have to be a solid 6'2 BAREFOOT in the late evening to be considered in the 6'2 range. And honestly there aren't that many legit 6'2 people. Most are within the 6'1 and 6'1.5 range claiming 6'2. a legit 6'2-6'3 of anything between can easily pass for 6'4 in this case.
I say easily because people are adding inches to their own height as well but Rob here will likely be able to tell a 6'2-6'3 person from a real 6'4 one.

Dude, I'm just adding to the conversation. Don't really understand your hostility. Someone I KNOW (i.e. not a "friend of a friend") said by chance in a conversation about tennis that he saw her up close. Maybe he only thought he was looking up. Maybe she was wearing 4-inch elevator sneakers. In the conversation, we did agree she was gorgeous and tall.
miser said on 10/Dec/08
She doesn't look 6'2" in sneakers or in sandals, only in heels. There was no "footwear advantage" in those pictures... they were on court, both wearing tennis sneakers. And there was no angle problem there as well, in addition to those 2 pictures there was a video of that match and the following award ceremony on youtube that showed them side-to-side for quite a few minutes.
Venus is 6'1" and she is _definitely_ taller than Sharapova. Sharapova is 5'11" to 6'.
Anonymous3 said on 10/Dec/08
Sharapova definitely is NOT 6'2. I don't see 6'2 in any photos. How do you explain that? It's a myth folks. It's time to wrap this up. minimum 5'11.5 to 6' for her and max 6'1-6'1.5 maybe. She can't even look 6'1 with that 6'4 guy Murphy Jensen. He had like more than 4.5 inches on her. HE was TOWERING her in the pic I posted below. How do you explain that? The camera angle is extremely close up view already and very straight and level. Even if she had a footwear disadvantage say like .5 inch and if she were 6'2 she would still have to look 6'1.5. She was struggling to get over 6'. 6'2" is a joke. 6'.5-6'1.5 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM dripping wet. I have solid legit 6'2 friends and HONESTLY the difference between a 6'4 and 6'2 person is just slightly about 5cm which is 2/3 of your middle finger maybe. This is why legit 6'2 guys get guessed at 6'3 and 6'4. People are clueless about people who are legit 6'+
Alex said on 10/Dec/08
I am not saying shes 6'2 because I want her to be that tall. She looks it or close to it and thats when shes in sneakers, not even heels! I wouldn't go under 6'1 for her. 5'11-6'0 for her is just too short for her. Venus I do believe is 6'1. Could be in a footwear advantage or something with Maria or some bad angle.
miser said on 10/Dec/08

Sharapova is defnitely tallet than Vaidisova & Safina who are both 6 feet even. So that would make sharapova atleast 6'1". maybe she looks taller cos she is so much more skinnier compared to Vaidisova & Safina who are strong broad shouldered beauties

Actually Roddick is "only" 6 ft 1/4 I met him at the Aus open in 07 and we were the exact same height. Im 6 and 1/4 also.
I challenge anyone to show me ONE picture The only 2 conditions I ask for is that
1. Footwear and posture can be accounted for in the pic.
2. The person she is standing with is of verified heights (it helps if they are on this site)
Im not a hater, I dont discriminate if someone is short, tall , whatever. If someone is taller than I think listed, Ill be the first to admit. Rather, I am just seeking the truth, which is what the site is ALL about hey?
Anonymous3 said on 4/Dec/08
Click HereThis picture proves it Andy Roddick 6'2, could possibly even shorter than that since everyone in tennis is probably rounded up. Maria is anything but 6'2. 6'3 is a joke so closer to 6' flat. Looks barely 6' if she is wearing high heels with Andy.
Anonymous3 said on 4/Dec/08
Why do some sites state her as high as 6'3??? That's madness, I mean some of you stated she could be as low as a weak 6'... It doesn't make sense I mean some of you even posted photos showing her shorter than the 6'1 tennis player guy I forgot his name but yea. I think theres a limit to how much a person's height can be inflated maybe 1 or max 1.5 inches. But as high as 3 inches inflated? Come on maybe in like 5 inch nonplatform heels but seriously is she not tall enough?
I mean I can understand upgrading some woman who is maybe 5 feet raised to maybe 5'2 or 5'3, even that's a big stretch. It's ridiculous, are they going to say she is 6'4 next? It is clearly stated on some sites she is 184cm. Rob I think she definitely needs a downgrade. There is too much evidence against her possibility of being a legit 6'2. So 184cm is probably closer. At least give her a small downgrade for now and then when more evidence presents itself we can either raise her height again or downgrade it further? Just a suggestion.

These pictures are distorted by their heels, and also the angle. Why would anyone hold these pictures in higher value than the pictures (and the video) of her next to Venus Williams, or the full-body pictures of her next to James Blake and Andy Roddick? In the pics with Venus they were both in tennis snickers, and standing side-to-side. Sharapova is taller than Charlize, but not by 4 inches.
anonnymous - Jesus that is the same picture that was posted before! The angle is distorted and we can't see their feet. Is there any other pic of her next to Davenport(standing side-to-side, preferably)? I would really like to see one if you can find. I have only seen this one:

Interestingly Tauna Vandeweghe was also 6'1" & 150lbs at the age of 16 when she participated in the Montreal Olympic Games and she grew to 6'3" later. Think the daughter too will follow suit.

Serena is in flats and is maybe 1" shorter than jankovic who is in 3" heels. So in reality serena is 2" taller than Jankovic. Also if u take away dementieva's and ivanovic's heels they would be just as tall as serena, which would put them at 5'10" or 5'11" whichever u thin serena's height is. Only venus and safina are taller than 6 ft in that pic. But I bet serena is the strongest girl in that pic followed by Venus, Kuznetsova, safina, dementieva, ivanovic, jankovic and zvonereva.

Again how can Dinara be 6'1 or more if not even Venus is 6'1? Nonsense. Safina is about 182cm (5-11.5). But she does look "strong".

Thats a really nice pic all of u are talking about, 8 tall strong leggy girls. If u notice Serena, Kuznetsove & Zvonoreva are the only ones in flats. All the rest have similar heels except Venus who has slightly smaller ones. So defnitely venus is the tallest in that group and Zvonoreva is the shortest. Jankovic too looks so tiny standing next to Safina. safina not only looks like she more than 6'1', but she also looks so broad and strong. She was never on the skinny side but this pic proves that she is easily abt 185 lbs

Please do direct me to at least one website where Venus Williams is listed as 6-2 and Davenport at 6-3. I have never seen Venus listed over 185cm(6-1). Davenport was officially the tallest woman ever to win a grand slam (I suppose they measured her to reach that conclusion) and her height was given as exactly 189cm. That's a hair over 6-2, it is roughly 6-2.
Click HereLet's compare Davenport to Venus:

6'1.5 if you wanna be exact? then how come she looked smaller than Venus in January of this year? Not even Venus is 6'1.5, she is about 6-1. Sharapova is 5'11"-6'.
This last "growth spurt" that is mentioned here never happened, that is what you people are failing to see.
diana said on 26/Oct/08
also, i believe she did have a growth spurt after her wimbledon win in 2004 when she was only 17 she looked about 5'11-6' range
so any pics of her around 2004 or 2005 ...i don't think are valid. i think she grew about an inch maybe 2 inches since then. it is the only explanation that makes sense when wondering why she is so much shorter than peyton manning and andy roddick at the 2005 espn awards
diana said on 26/Oct/08
lol you people are crazy
this girl is at least 6'1, 6'2 might be a stretch
i think she is probably 6'1.5 if you wanna be exact, but she is not 6'4 or 6'5. that's a little crazy. it's just that she wears heels all the time, so its hard to realize that she is shorter because she is already quite tall (for a guy or a girl). unfortunately you have to use your good judgement. she slouches all the time and also when a girl is taller than a guy by like 1 or 2 inches people say that girl "towers over him." So it is hard to believe people's exaggerations. She is def. not 6'4 or 6'5...that's stupid.

anonymous said on 19/Oct/08
uma is not less than 182 cm miser, and is likely closer than 183. The notion that she is shorter is inane. Sharapova has atleast 2 inches on her, which would come out to 187-188 cm. Enough with your asinine comments about sharapova being a weak 183 at best. For that to be true, it would also mean that duhammel is about 6`1 max. She is 6`2 and that is really pretty definite.
miser said on 19/Oct/08
Does anyone have a picture of Safina standing next to someone (preferably Sharapova?)
The true WTA Heights in the metric system would be (roughly) as follows:
Lindsay Davenport: 188cm to 189cm
Venus Williams: 184cm to 186cm
Safina and Sharapova: 180cm to 183cm
Dementieva and Ivanović: 177cm to 180cm
miser said on 19/Oct/08
Also, Uma is not as tall as 6'. I'd guess around 176cm-179cm for her, barefoot. Look up her page here.
miser said on 19/Oct/08
Frankly I don't think there's a whole lot of Americans out there who actually know the metric system... that may be the problem. The difference between Venus and Sharapova is more than 1cm. 1cm is not even discernible in a picture... this nonsense. Ivanović is not 182cm or 183cm (that is probably around the height of Sharapova), she is smaller.
kampioen said on 19/Oct/08
Maybe the problems is the height calculation. A lot of people are thinking, when they hear a height of 6 ft, of 180 cm in stead of 183 cm. Suppose Maria is one of the. Than het 6 ft 2 just means somewhere around 185 cm, which explains her being a little taller than Ivanovic (I think 182 or 183 cm) and a little smaller than Venus Williams (I think 186 cm). This also explains het towering over Uma Thurman with 3 or 4 inch heel difference. Problem solved?

Look at the top of their heads.). Anyways I think anyone who still has a drop of honesty in themselves got the point.

That's what I am talking about bikbanban, if Sharapova is 6-2 then how tall is Venus, about 6-4, lol? And how about Davenport? 6-5, 6-6? Note that Venus is listed here as 6'1/2", but nowhere in the whole internet is she listed over 6-1. Hence we can be pretty sure that Venus Williams is about 185cm tall. Sharapova is clearly at the very least 2cm shorter, which makes her about 183cm, in the Imperial system that is 6'.

The thing with Sharapova is that she never was even nearly 6'2" except in her own imagination. The TV people and websites picked this up and started calling her 6'2"... Then you have a bunch of adoring fans drooling over the 6'2" "amazon". But she really is very tall... for a woman. 5-11.5 is rather tall even for men. But then men don't wear 3",3.5" or 4" heels so they don't pass as 6-3. If this girl were really 6'2" she would not look as good as she does. She would look rather... er... "peculiar", like Davenport does.

Wonderful picture. I think we can see a difference of 4 inches: two caused by the heel difference, 2 by the height difference. When Uma is 182 cm, Maria must be at least 187 cm. By the way: what's the site where this pic's from?

@ Bongo: Perhaps you should go back to grade school and learn how to interpret a 3 line text. Where have I implied that ALL women are shorter than men's average height or that "Venus is the only legit. six-footer in the ATP"? What I have said is that Venus, Sharapova and Davenport are the only ones near or beyond 6' IN THE ATP TOP POSITIONS, and yes of course it is genetics, idiot... height is mainly determined by genes, and men are on average taller than women. But that's statistics and biology, too much for your head at this point, maybe when you get to high school we will get into that. But of course there are taller women in existence, only they are rare... As I said you can find them in basketball or volleyball.
As for Sharapova, she is at the very best 6'... 5'11" to 6'.
Wallace said on 1/Oct/08
Although it's true that Maria's heels would give her more of a boost than Uma's boots, Maria can actually see clearly over the top of Uma's head. Even without the footwear advantage Maria would easily be taller than even the tall Uma Thurman. She would have at least a couple inches on Uma if they were both bare foot.

wow, she looks huge on the ellen show, must be atleast wearing 4" heels which takes her upto 6'6". One thing I noticed were how broad her shoulders were. Broad and skinny, she shud be atleast 165 lbs with such broad shoulders.

@ Anonymous: so what are you suggesting -- that Venus is the only legit. six-footer in the ATP? You must be smoking some cheap dope! Why is that Davenport is almost ALWAYS 2 inches taller? She's a legit. 6'2.5! Sharapova is 6'1.5 to 6'2, as she's an inch or so taller. It's not genetics you idiot. Many women can very well be taller than men. I'm only 1.83m, and I get dwarfed often by women who are 6'2+. No big deal. It is true that MOST men are taller than MOST women...but then again, note the capitalization of the word "MOST".

A girl just being 5'9-5'10 in general will weight at least 115-120lbs just with that height alone which is pretty light. I'd just be suprised if she was as high as 180.
Anonymous said on 23/Sep/08
Yes she IS lying. Or "streching" it, LOL... put it as you wish...
Most of these tennis players heights are overrated, they lie and stretch their heights much more than actors do. I think that Venus' height is correctly estimated here - about 6'0.5". Venus, Sharapova and Davenport are the only ones who are really beyond or near 6'. Women are not as tall as men, it's genetics... deal with it. There are taller women in volleyball and basketball, though, there you can find women who are well over 6'. But then they are sort of weird I must say.

Alex, we are saying 180 lbs for serena cos of her build. She is so thick and muscular with broad shoulders, powerful arms and huge thighs and calves. if she were not this way , she wud be only 160 lbs like u say

If Maria is between 5'11-6', then how tall is Venus and Ivanovic?
Ivanovic is listed as 6'1 on her official website. Maria is clearly taller than Ana.

Alex said on 22/Sep/08
180-190lbs for Serena? I kinda doubt that. Even at 5'9 or 5'10 I'd still put her at 160-170lbs with her build.

About the shoes-- nonsense. Sharapova's soles actually seem thicker and higher than Blake's. Look closely.
Anonymous said on 22/Sep/08
Brenda Schultz-McCarthy is smaller than Roddick who actually is about 6'2". Maybe she is about 6'1" to 6', the same height as Blake. So Sharapova is 5'11" to 6'.
Eagle eye said on 22/Sep/08
The other girl at the net is Brenda Schultz-McCarthy. She is listed as 6-2.

The picture with Blake, Roddick and the other girl at the net, Maria looks taller than Blake and she is not standing straight. A comment posted in the thread stated that Blake is wearing thicker soled shoes too...
Anyway, I think Maria is 6'2. What should be debated is her 130lb weight. But, I this is not a weight theard so...

If anything is unfounded here is this ridiculous claim that Sharapova is 6'2". Take a look at the picture of her with James Blake, Andy Roddick and another female player(who's also taller than her!!!). The picture speaks for itself. Someone else posted the same picture before(and is of the same opinion as I am), there some more for that set if you scroll down.

Surely she would not date someone 3 inches shorter than her, it would look kind of funny. This teenager is clearly streching it and you folks are falling for it. She is probably about 180cm (around 5'11", or 6' AT THE VERY MOST). She is always wearing heels in all pics, and she does look smaller than Roddick who's 6'1" and a half.

I personally think young women are generally taller than men these days.There are so many gigantic female stars just in tennis alone . From davenport to venus to maria to ana to petrova to vaidisova to safina to dementieva and the list goes on and on.I wish i could stand next to one of these players so that they could dwarf me.
Pro said on 17/Sep/08
Ana is certainly huge for a 20 yr old girl, and i think she has grown an inch after the australian open. She is now probably as tall as that giantess sharapova.
Anonymous said on 10/Sep/08
Serena seems to have become more muscular and powerful than before. watching her at the US Open gave me that impression. She shud be in the region of 180-190 lbs with those massive shoulders, arms, thighs and calves. bet she wud do well in FBB competitions
Eagle eye said on 8/Sep/08
Or maybe WTA can measure the weight and height annually for updating purpose. There's no point of them listing of out players' height and weight when its clearly outdated information.
If they believe these info are not important, then it shouldnt be listed in the first place.
ash said on 5/Sep/08
Maybe they should all do a weigh in and height check before the matches, so we wouldn't have to speculate! I bet that would go over well with a bunch of women.
Jake said on 4/Sep/08
Ana is shorter than 6 foot tall Safina. When watching her US Open matches, they always listed Safina as 5'11.5". Ana still looks a good inch shorter. She's definately 5'11.
Second, I would've believed it if they had Nadal listed at 6'0. But now that they've increased his height to 6'1, I'm doubtful. Here a picture of Nadal and Federer standing side-by-side after this years French Open 2008 match. It's quite obvious that Federer has more than an inch on Nadal.

Sharapova is 6'2 in cheap flat flip flops, some crew were hanging with her after the US Open when she was done. They jokingly marked the top of her head with a scratch on the wall then measured the spot.
..BTW Maria is very funny, likes beer AND ....the USTA and publicists SURE DO NOT LIKE players hiding out schmoozing having fun with the local crews !!
What nasty NASTY people run this sport !!!

Thanks for the pics Stu, specially the first one, that is a really nice pic of the 2 beauties. No doubt Maria is taller than Ana, but what surprises me is that her shoulders are broader than Ana's and her arms are as big as Ana's arms. Now Maria is listed at only 132 lbs and Ana at 160 lbs, going by this pic Maria tooshould easily be in the 160-170lbs range. Would be great if someone could post a pic of any comparisons with the 6'1", 154lb Czech Beauty Nicole Vaidisova

Dude, why do we all argue how tall these athletes are? Just take their word for it, I think they know how tall they are! If Maria Sharapova says in an article that she is 6'2" tall, then she is that tall. I've seen her in person at a tennis event @ Villanova University a couple years ago and I can say to you she has @ least 2 inches on me. I by the way am 6 ft tall.

Maria Sharapova cannot be classified as an amazon. She is tall, but her physique is not huge or muscular. At the most she must be about 150lbs which is very thin for a 6'3' girl. Take a look at some of the 6'4" & 6'5" girls at the Olympics and u will see what I mean. For example Valerie Vili who won the Shot Put Gold Medal is 6'5" & 245lbs. Stephanie Brown Trafton who won the Discus Throw Gold is 6'4" & 220lbs. Aksana Miankova who won the Hammer Throw Gold is 6'1" & 187lbs & Barbora Spotakova who won the javelin Gold is 6'1" & 180lbs. Sharapova is really tiny compared to all these huge but very attractive girls

Jankovic is 5'9", so that would make Safina 6 ft even. Dementieva is listed at 5'11" but in most of the pics she appears to be atleast 6 ft even. Guess she suffers from the 6 foot syndrome that most girls have. Even tho they are 6 ft or taller they claim to be 5'11"

Dementieva and Safina also understate their true height. Both are easily 6'. When Safina played Jankovic (5'10), she was a good 3" taller when they shook hands after the match.

Ian - This has been repeated over and over again... Roddick was being a character and was on his tip-toes in that picture because he didn't want to appear shorter than Sharapova. Look at his face in the pic... it's obvious. In addition, Maria was still growing upward in 2005.

Click HereNow this is how I think she should look if she was 6'2 (even considering she's flexing one leg a bit, we don't know if Camille is bending or flexing, besides I don't think it affects her posture really) Camille should be a bit below the tip of her nose:

Dinara safina was 2 inches taller than Ivanovic after the final it was clear to see. Ivanovic is 5'11 at best and Sharapova is same height as Safina if you look properly. Safina plays down her height but is in actual fact 6'1" at least. I remember an interview with Marat and his sister when she was 14. The interviewer commented how short she is and has a lot of growing to do. She was barely above Marat's chest 4'10" probably.
2 Years later she was playing Serena and I couldn't recognise her she had grown over a foot in 2 years. She dwarfed Serena.

If any of you people saw the match betwn Dinara Safina & Sharapova even, you would have seen that Sharapova was easily 2"-3" taller than Safina who is 6ft even. That would put Sharapova at 6'3". It was a good match for tall girl lovers. Tho Safina is shorter, she is so much more muscular then Sharapova. Safina shud be abt 175 lbs wheras the twig like Sharapova must be 150lbs

We saw him standing next to Federer who is 6'1 and he commented how Rafael Nadal grew 3 inches since he was 18 to 21 (from 5'10 to 6'1) and as well he commented as when Maria Sharapova was 18 she was 5'7 and now she is 6'2...."
When she won Wimbledon at 17 (2004), she was 6'-0" tall. She was quite a bit taller than Serena. It's too bad she grew so much after that tournament. She looked great and moved wonderfully at Wimbledon, that year. I think those extra couple inches hindered her for a few years. It definitely slowed her movement down. She's finally 'grown into' her larger body. Easily 6'2, she is now.

Haven't been on here in a while, wanted a laugh, thought I'd indulge myself.
I think it's hilarious all the talk about growth hormones, trying to 'explain' her height.... Good Lord. If I heard this talk in public, I'm sure I'd laugh up a storm.
There are two very interesting photos posted recently, each conflicting the other. The first is the one with Payton Manning, the other with Dominika Cibulkova. In the latter, she's clearly somewhere around a foot taller than Cibulkova, who's listed everywhere as 5'3.5". In the former? Well, heels being equal, Manning appears a good five inches taller.
Try to reconcile the two photos. If anything, Cibulkova is going to be standing as tall as she can. And their shoes *should* be equal. So at the very least, this makes Ms Sharapova 6'2". The other shot? This height plus 3" for heels makes her 6'5"...which makes Manning ALMOST SEVEN FEET TALL!
LOL
The Letterman Show appearance... Wow. She IS an Amazon.
She should pick a charity, then auction off an accurate measuring. Surely some philanthropist out there can offer some relief to the non-believers on this site, and allow them to get back to more important debates...like 'Which way do you roll the toilet paper?'
Wallace said on 31/May/08
Lauren, even if you are really 6'6" Sharapova wouldn't be near your shoulder....her head would at least reach your nose. And why is that sad? Sharapova is beautiful, rich, tall (even if you are taller) and a great tennis player. If you're gonna make such statements you have to provide a picture where you dwarf her otherwise anyone can make whatever claims they please.
hs2008 said on 30/May/08
Yeah, Sharapova absolutely towered Rodina. Also, looking at pics of her with Ana Ivanovic at the Aussie Open earlier this year, she has a comfortable 2" on her and Ivanovic claims 6'1". For me Sharapova is no less than legit 6'2".
Anonymous said on 30/May/08
Couple of days ago Maria met another russian named Rodina who is listed at only 5'4". When they shook hands at the net Maria was head & shoulders taller than Rodina. Assuming that the neck is 4" and the head 8" (both on the minimum side) that would make Maria a whole foot taller than the 5'4" Rodina. With all this it gets even more confusing, cos Maria shud be 6'4" in the least.

"In my opinion, Maria Sharapova is at best, 6'. In a picture with James Blake, Andy Roddick, and another female player, Maria Sharapova appears to be at least half an inch shorter than James Blake. (Click Here) "
if you look carefully, you'll notice that shrapova is trying to look smaller by putting her weight in one leg and by slouching, on the other hand roddick, probably intimidated by maria, has a military posture with legs together. So the pic is inconclusive, but you have to add at least 1 inch to Maria b/c of her posture. No way Sharapova is under 6', but she may be 6'1.5..

there is a pic on the web, you can easly find it just using google, with blake, sharapova, roddick and another player all close to the net, after a match.
well, if blake is not 6.3, she's 100% not 6.2, and blake is NOT 6.3 but 6.1 (max)
I would say she's 6.0
