There is no doubt in my mind that Sharapova is easily between 6'2" & 6'3". The weight they have mentioned for her tho is ridiculous, no way is she just 130lbs as mentioned. Just take a look at her now in some pics leading upto the french Open, she has put on some muscle on those broad shoulders and her legs too look strong and sexy. She must be in the region of 160-170 now

Serena is closer to 5'8" than 5'10". Consequently, this puts Maria Sharapova's height in the range I earlier proposed.

i dunno i really think she's 6'2. i also think she doesn't like being her height and tends to slouch a hell of a lot, which is too bad cause her height is a major advantage. When you find pictures of her next to serena williams she usually stands up straight and you see that she is a solid 4 inches taller.

Yea me, and my dad were having this conversation just a few minutes ago. While watching Rafael Nadal recive the award for winning at Hamburg. 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....
Personally through out school teachers have been telling me that you grow more rapidly from 13 to 20 or 21, and i agree to that... but my dads arguement is they are either taking growth hormones or some shots to enhance height (not steriods)...
if you got any ideas... reply.

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)
According to the ATP James Blake is listed at 6'1" and Andy Roddick as 6'2". Yet, James Blake appears to be at least 2 inches shorter than Andy Roddick. As a result, the ATP recorded heights are not in equilibrium with one another.
Fortunately, we are able to introduce a calibrating height, Terrell Owens. With a verifiable NFL Combine height of 6'2 3/4", Terrell Owens is at least 2 inches taller than Andy Roddick(picture on Click Here).
So on balance, I believe that Andy Roddick is not the 6'2" he is listed by the ATP but but more like 6' 3/4". Consequently, making James Blake more like 5' 11" and Maria Sharapova anywhere from 5'11" to 6'.

Where she had a major growth spurt at 14, i had it at 15 and just kept on going up!
The difference is, i ate and still eat only foods with 100% vitamin C. Like, i won't eat anything that doesn't have 100% vitamin c. That stuff makes you grow tall!
And it's kind of cute when little guys try and hook up to you and then automatically assume you're a volleyball player or tennis player.
Seriously, I met Maria Sharapova at this expo, and i thought she was going to be really tall, but her head was, like, near my shoulder. It was kind of sad.

Sharapova isnt the only tennis playing Russian 6 footer around. Take a look at Dinara Safina who just won the German Open who also happens to be Marat Safin's younger sister. She is listed at 6 ft and 154lbs and looks to be atleast 6'1" and 180 lbs.

According to Rob, she was 6' by 2004 and grew more in 2005 (when the pic with Manning was taken). Keep in mind she likely even has a slight footware advantage with Manning.

Maria should be abt 165lbs now, the 130 they have on for her is ridiculous. Her already broad skinny shoulders appear pretty muscular now. The best part of her tho are her neverending legs

Jake, she would be 5'11-6'0 there with Peyton but she grew more after that.
At 6'2 I read she was 150 something I think.

i saw a picture of her recently, her features had become much more masculine, there is even a "beard shade" on her face, for me there is no doubt she has taken hormones, the only doubt is wether she starting taking them before or after her age majority or if it she even knew about it.

I'm pretty sure Dave is still over 6' (I think he's gotten shorter) nobody actually see's him on the street he has a secret tunnel to a parking garage.
He doesnt hang out with the stagehands, stays in his office stinking up the room with cigars.
I cant say for sure on the height, keep in mind the ultra wide lenses on those cameras can rally fool ya.
The hard studio cameras themselves never capture below 7 feet, the monitors are above eye level at the rear BOTTOM the camera. You look "up" into them and the capture lens is actually higher.
Daves stage at the desk area is barly 7 steps deep it looks huge on TV.
Count Daves entry steps at the beginning of the show.
Sharapova is really impressive up close, I never seen a woman built like that and this is a New Yorker talking.
She should have some LASER follicle removel on her lower legs. Up close they alway's have a thick black 5 o'clock shadow like a burley sailer.

OK Finally !
Im a tech here in NYC she was at the Ed Sullivan theatre (Letterman) hitting balls in here tennis sneakers.
I'm 6'3, met here she was right next to me she's just above 6'2.
I didnt want to ask (we spoke about about live music and Kareoke) besides im sure she gets hassled about her height all the time.
But I did ask one of her girlfriends.
Turns out many of these Russians and European Tennis players constantly tour the rest of the world really dont understand or keep up with the "inches and feet" conversions ....they go by Metric System.
Another words shes really not sure herself.
She's really looks huge and very hot in platform shoes BTW.
Amazing !!

Stu, nothing loads when I click on your link. Since Djokovic is listed as 6'2" on the MSN/Foxsports website, presumably Maria is on the same level. I just am intrigued by her late growth spurt which resulted in her passing me up, but believe it can happen.

I don't find it unnatural that a 6'2" woman has a 5'6" mother and a 5'10" father. I spoke to a woman several years ago who was 6'2 and a half and took a size 10 shoe (UK). She said her father was 5'9" and her mother 5'4". She was average to well-built and in proportion. I spoke to a woman in 1999 who was 6'6". She had a 5'11" father and a 5'7" mother, and her younger sister was 5'4". Perhaps Maria, as with these other two women, could have been throw-backs to some tall ancestor they had.

To address Alex's comment... a friend of mine had parents - Dad 5'6, Mom 5'4 (both on the stocky/plump side). They were wealthy and kept him busy with tennis and other sports. They also fed him close to 20 vitamins at each meal (which I thought was excessive). He ended up to be 6'2. So, I think if you feed 'em well and keep 'em exercised, they will definitely end up at their peak potential height.

who claimed it was a crime? But to get back to how tall she is, she does truly look 6`2 most of the time. Photo evidence would place her at 6`1-2. I would go with 6`2.

she isn't skinny
don't believe anything that says she's 130 pounds because she would be dead if she weighed that much
she is proportional actually or i wouldn't have been in disbelief when I found out she was 6'2 because i thought she was 5'9/10
a lot of people here are still in disbelief that there is a tall girl
there are 7 foot tall guys and no one cares.

Yeah, with a 5'6" mother and 5'10" father a girl would usually end up being 5'8" and in some very rare cases if the mother's brothers are tall, she mite end up being only slightly taller than her father, in Sharapova's case maybe 5'11" or 6ft max. But 6'2" froma 5'6" mother and 5'10" father is unnatural. Maybe that is why she is so skinny, if it was natural, her body too would have developed proportionally with her height.

You people have to understand something. Sharapova's mother and father are like 5'6 and 5'10 respectively. The odds of parents of such average height having a daughter who is natural 6'2 are VERY VERY low. It's statistcally the same as if they had a boy and he grew to 6'8. I'd say that the chances are like 99 percent that Maria was given some type of hormones as a teenager that caused her to grow so tall, and only 1 percent that her height is a freak of nature.

In that full body pic, she clearly has on "platform" heels, which are clearly 3-4 inches.Definitely not 2-2.5 I own several pair myself. So I'd put her at 6'1.

Anonymous, I counted Wade as 6'3.75" barefoot. I was also generous on her heels and gave it the absolute minimum. You can clearly see he is still an inch taller than her if he stand straight. Well, they also say that Hewitt is 5'11 and Roddick is 6'3, but they aren't even close to those heights. I mean Roddick was struggling with 6'4 Safin and 6'1 Henman. Some players however are accurately described such as Djokovic, who really is legit 6'2."

Some players however are accurately described such as Djokovic, who really is legit 6'2."

xyzblast: Wade's 6'3.75 is barefoot, you can add another inch for formal shoes...
I personally think Sharapova is a solid 6'2 barefoot. Tennis commentators all have this opinion also, although as someone said John McEnroe puts her at 6'3, which is probably an exaggeration.

6'1.25" is ridiculous! She's at LEAST 6'1.75" and most likely an even 6'2". I think there were too many variables in xyzblast's calculations!

No, she still doesn't make it to 6'2 even with Wade. Here is how: Wade is 6'3.75" and he looks inch taller than her if he stand straight. And Sharapova has 1.5 inch footwear advantage(2.5-1). So she is total 2.5 inch less than 6'3.75" Wade, making her 6'1.25."

those who pinned sharapova at 6'2 will find nothing shocking, those who pinned her at 6'0-6'1 barefoot may do e.g anonymoose, Anonymous on 3/Feb/08 who claimed 183cm or Mikez who says she looked 5'11ish in person
yes the dude in the photo was measured at 6'3.75" without shoes at the 2003 NBA draft (fifth name down), he also has a huge 6'11 wingspan Click Here the nba rounded him up to 6'4 Click Here here he is standing next to 6'6 nba listed kobe bryant Click Here

She is wearing three-inch heels, which put her at 6'5''. If that guy is 6'5'' in shoes and she is 6'5'' in shoes, then, yes, they would match up in height when they are both wearing shoes. What's so shocking?

Joe - When that picture first surfaced last year, a lot of people believed the models in that picture were even taller than Maria. However I beg to differ. The models are tall yes, but Maria is as at least as tall as the tallest of them - the girl standing immediately to her right. If you look closely at the photo in a decent resolution, you can see that Maria's crouching slightly and her knees are bent (difficult to see as she is wearing dark pants against a dark background), and appears to also be leaning back slightly. As a result she is somewhat reducing her own height by a few inches.
If she were to stand up fully straight I think she would be as tall or even slightly taller than the tallest model.
Also, the shortest model on the far left of the picture is 5'9 (her name is something like Mia Sharone or something similar), and she would be dwarfed much more than she already is if the tall model was 6'3+ (an assumption if she were to be taller than Maria).
The photo also lends credence to Maria being around the 6'2 mark if the shortest model is 5'9, because even with Maria's bent knees and the camera perspective favouring the model by her being closer, Maria is still slightly taller in the picture.

Keep in mind that Ana has probably been growing until recently, so in an older photo she could have been shorter.

I really don't believe Ana is 6'1, which is why Maria seems quite a bit taller than her. Ana is 6'0 max, meaning Sharapova is probably 6'2 as she is listed.

maria sharapova at 6`3?! That seems a little excessive. i mean, 6`3 would mean that she is 1 inch taller than Andy Roddick, when they usually seem to be near the same height.

The photo of Sharapova next to Ana Ivanovic (whom has stated 182 cm as her height and not the 6 foot and 6'1" she has been listed) definately confirms Sharapova isn't the 6'2.5"-6'3" that many have said. She's no bigger than two inches taller than Ana side by side in the Aus Open putting her at the most, 187 cm(6'1.5"). There's other photos of her next to Federer which would also confirm this.

Look at the photos from the Australian Open Final. Maria is like 2 inches taller than Ana Ivanovic and if Ana is 6'1(185cm) Maria is about 6'3 (190cm). Maria looks also bigger than Ana, who official weight is 160lbs (73kg), so Maria must be around 170 - 180lbs (77 - 80kg).

Stu's photo from december 10th says it all to me. Maria is the closest to the camera in the picture, and is shorter than james blake because of a bit of a slouch. given that i see almost 2 inches between him and roddick, i see both blake and sharapova at 6'0-6'.5, and roddick at 6'2. she is listed on the wta site as 6'2, but they also claim she's 130 lbs. not likely. to me if they didn't take her weight, they probably didn't take her height.
australian open website imo has her correct height. 6', 183-184 cm.

Come on guys she is significantly taller than 6'0. I live in Fort Lauderdale and I saw her last year in the ladies room in Miami Airport - I was standing about 5'10 (in 2" heels) and she was towering over me in her boots. One other thing I can tell you about Maria Sharapova that's not generally known to the public is that the girl can take a very nasty crap, she went into a stall, locked the door and just started letting it rip, it was like the scene with Jeff Daniels in "Dumb and Dumber". Oh my gosh it stunk! I guess an athletic girl of that size has to eat a lot to maintain her metabolism. Anyway the point is she's a very tall girl, absolutely not less than 6'2, I know 6'0 when I see and Maria is taller than that.

Yes Rob you are right its very hard...my friend was impatient and I couldnt wait until she came to courtside or left the court. But I know enough to see she isnt 6ft 2..whether or not she is 5'11.5, or 6'0.5 I cant say for certain. But I can almost bet my money she is NOT 6'2. Even today when interviewed with 5'9-10 Todd Woodbridge she was 2 inch taller.

Here is the start of the US Open final. Check out 5.04 minutes into the video and Maria's height is put up as 6'3. I'm assuming she would have been measured for this? It's no typo either, the commentators call her 6'3 numerous times in the match.

yes, i agree with Lucian-Ro, in my case i grew till the age of 21,being a girl that was little strange. i have grown to 6'8" tall girl and my mom is just 5'0" and dad is 5'3".My elder sister who is 4 years elder than me is just 5'2".I dont konw how i grew so much. I always had been the tallest girl in my class. I crossed my father and mother's height at the age of 13.At that time i was taller than my elder sister,in fact i was 5'7 and my sister was 5'2". But suddenly my height grew by more than one foot in next 6 years. My sister who used to come till my ear now just manages to reach my breast with heels,and with me having heels on she just reaches till my naval.I feel like a giantess with almost everyone. i can dwarf even Maria, and i remember standing on one occassion with Uma thurman, when she told me that she was for the first time feeling very short with any woman. She just managed to reach my chin.

finally, a lady I have to look up to. Maria is 6'2" legit but 130 lbs.? that's anorexic! I'm 5'11" and I weigh 150 and people say I need to put some meat on my bones.

Maria Sharapova really is 6'2" maybe 6'2 1/2" and I thought I was alone when it came to beling a tall female at six-one.

Hey Kampioen could you post that pic again with Maria standing between the 6'9" and 6'11" guys? That pic was totally awesome. Not often we get to see Maria stand next to very tall people and be the short one for a change. That was from a few months ago... hope u find it.

I stood near MS at the Acura in 07. I stand about 6'1 1/2" in boots (actually do ride a motorcycle!). I specifically measured myself in the footwear I'd be wearing when standing near her. She was taller than me by at LEAST an inch in tennis shoes. Not only is she tall, she's very broad. She's easily 6'2, barefoot. You unbelievers will believe when you're standing next to her.

How 'bout a temporary downgrade to 187 cm Rob?

Yep. Maris confirms her height about 6'2. then she says she is wearing s inch heels and is standing 6'5 in them.
I think her "team" gave her HGH too. Her rapid growth spurt is fascinating! She has big hands, feet and broad shoulders...When I first saw her, I never though she would grow so big!

Wwo!! from that pic posted by Stuart Sharapova looks to be easily 6'2". Thats a pic of the Russian Fed Cup team with Nadia Petrovan(5'10") at the extreme left in the red top, then Elena Vesnina (5'9"), Anna Chakvetadze (5'8") & Svetlana Kuznetsova (5'9"). Sharapova looks to be easily 6" taller than all of them which would make her 6'3", and taking the angle would make her 6'2". Nice pic dude

Yeah, there's some pics at Maria's site showing her in ballet flats in the shoot with Lebron. There's a better pic where Maria is leaning into him a bit and Lebron appears to be standing up fairly straight and she still comes up to his mouth (despite the footwear different).
Also, I recall there was a guy who posted on here several months ago about seeing Maria singing a Cher song at some club in Miami and talked about her being easily 6-2. Well, she posted in her last website update that she "sang her Cher heart out" at some Russia karaoke place on her last trip and talked about how she would love to try a music album at some point.

Hard to compare when the height difference is too great... he is far from standing up straight by the way. Ignore my clijsters vs sharapova while you're at it.

I also met Roddick AND Djokovic AND Sharapova at the US Open and was at the front of the pack of people getting their autograph within 2 feet of them. I can say that neither Roddick, Djokovic, or Sharapova are 6' tall. Roddick and Djokovic seemedsolid 6'2". Sharapova was 6'1.5" at the least. This whole "Sharapova is 6'" is ridiculous, she so obviously is not.

If you are indeed 6'1 with no shoes and you stood less than 3 feet away from him (like I did and not just watched him on a court from a distance), then theres no reason why your claims arent as valid as mine. I obviously dont have proof and neither do you. Thus we must turn to photographic evidence, of which I have seen none to suggest he is 6'2.

i'm the other anon. anyway, sharapova in my opinion is 6'2, roddick may look to have an advantage on her but there could be multiple reasons for this, mainly because roddick has that stupid spikey hairstyle that makes his top of his head region look bigger. there is always a height round up at the bigger end as well, the reason is because when an opponent faces a bigger challenger, he will worry about the height advantage and the bigger players have advantages on having better serves and better angles they can get the ball into, so that would be a reason to 'big oneself up' if you will.

Thanx anonymousA! Good to see you posting. Well I think Safin is on this site, and he looks easily the 6'4. Not much controversy there. Most of the controversy lies in the professed 5'8 to 6'2 range. He could be the 6'3.75 as you claim, but even I wouldnt bother fussing over such a small margin. John Isner is very new to the tour and sometimes they get the stats slightly wrong (if that is the case). But when I saw him on TV, I immediately said woah thats one tall B#$@#.

As a general note Ive also found they dont always get it wrong in tennis. It seems that anyone actually 6'3 or over, they give the true height.. its like theres no point exaggerating at that point. Also some others were listed right...like Agassi, Djokovic is correct ( i acutally think he could be taller than the 187!) So clearly its not like I WANT them to be short or anything. I am a fan after all. I am strictly going by my own observations and the evidence at hand.

Id also add though to show that im not bias, I dont think the pic can be used to give an accurate estimate of her height (given the slouch and roddick seems to be standing a bit closer to the cam.. but not by much?)...but I will say it shows that she well below 6'2 atleast.

Hey, thanks for helping to PROVE my point. Finally someone else is beginning to see the light! I wish you'd use some kind of alias though as there are so many "anonymous" ... i dont know which one is on my side lol. But yes even though I will admit to be fair that its not the best evidence, clearly she aint going to gain 5 inches by standing up straight.

Mike,
Above average in my books would be somewhere around 5'10, anything above that is tall for me. A legit 6 footer is definitely very tall and not short at all, so you shouldn't consider yourself just above average.
Check out this pic of Sharapova and Roddick:
Click Here
Sharapova isn't exactly standing straight, she's slouching a bit. Roddick seems to be standing quite straight. From this pic, if Sharapova were to stand straight, I would give her probably 5'10.5 - 5'11, considering Roddick is 6'0. She may be as you said 5'11.5 or around there. Anyhow, Sharapova is still tall, and very tall for a girl. What do you think about the pic ?

This is a good vid to check out. Its the one where Gimelstob interviews many players at this years open. Note: Gimelstob is 6'4 minimum. (Could be closer to 6'5)

The funny thing is, you guys throw around numbers like they are nothing. Im dont claim to be tall, even though im above average...but a legit 183 is actually regarded as tall ish. People have never guessed im 6'0... most say atleast 6'1. That just shows you the perception issue. A legit 6 footer is not a short guy.

Ok listen carefully folks.
Forget the arguement that "she says shes 6'2, thus why would she lie". This site was created for debate and not to necessarily take a celebrities word for it!
Djokovic, in my opinion is definately 6'2. In the interwiew Justin Gimelstob did with him on Leno, (Gimelstob is a legit 6'4 plus guy.. I met him at the Open..sometimes listed as 6'5), Djokovic, only looked 2 inches shorter.. no
more!
Now about Roddick. He is 6'0. I have a dad who is Obsessed With Height for whatever reason and we both went to the Aus open in Feb and saw him at the practice court. He came over to sign autograph later and we were dead even. Dad even said i was slightly taller (but id call it even). Im 183 flat without shoes. That means sharapova is about 5'11.5 to 6'0. You do realise they measure players IN TENNIS SHOES. That means yes, Roddick is the true 6'1.5 IN SHOES. Dont ask how I know this, I just do. You dont have to take my word for it, but lets just say I would bet my bank balance on it, thats how sure I am.

was watching Sharapova standing with Nadia Petrova at the Fed Cup matches in Moscow. Since there was hardly any difference in heights between them, either Sharapova isnt 6'2" OR Petrova is more than her listed 5'10". I'll settle with the latter cos I always felt Petrova was much taller and heavier than her listed 5'10" and 150lbs, she is mmore like 6'1" and 190 lbs

Look at this 2 videos and pic of sharapavo and federer. Is this evidence enough for you Anonymous, djokovic is exactly 1,87cm or 6'1.5" same as federer. Djokovic and federer are not lying about there height, end of story. But as you can see in the video of ivanovic and djokovic. Ivanovic is wearing moreorless 3 inche heels and she is only a littel taller than djokovic. That tell me she is shorter than him, with out heels, so she must be not be 6 feet 1, but 6 feet something, probably 6'0.5". About roddick, I have no prove and you could be right Viper.

yes a Anonymous, I also see that trend caming too, I think a lot of girls in a lot of sport in general are starting to use growth hormone to gain size. What is fany is that most girl that are in the top 10 in tennis are almost as tall as there male counterparts, on average. Doink-- maria had the money to used HG because at age 13 she won a 1 million $ in a junior tournament or something like that, I cant remember well, but she had the money. And you can grow way more than 2-3 inches, it relative to each person.

I think Sharapova and Roddick are both 6-1 than 6-2. Some of the players are accurately listed like RF. See now Novak Djokovic does look like true 6-2 but Andy looks more like 6-1. I agree with Adam about ideal heights tho I would bump that to be 182-188cms. I dont mean to be offensive but anything over 1.92m is just too tall.

It is EXTREMELY unlikely that a woman who is already tall would take something artificial to get taller, and then complain about 'not wanting to be' 6'2. Sharapova's height is due to a combination of heredity, diet and lifestyle.

I think its just a matter of time before Sharapova's height becomes average. I was digging some info about the development of young players in various countries and the girls were very tall. Many ppl already know Coco Vandeweghe(6-1) coz she's American. But mark names like Jocelyn Rae(also 6-1) of Britain and Rebecca Marino (over 6-2) of Canada. Im pretty sure there many more up and coming tall players out there.

well, I presonaly do not believe her, because i think she used Grow hormone to get the size she is right know. That says a lot about a person, you know. I believe this becuase she went form 5 feet 3 when she was 14, to 6 feet 1 when she was 18. You know, please, that growth spread is normal for a boy; infact I had one similar, but a girl please. You know, this girl used growth hormone to get that big, probably to get better at tennis and have a better serv, but the truth is that for a girl to get that big beacuse she wanted too, for whatever reason that could have been. She must have liked the fact of getting taller, no mattering what ever she says. If that is right, I think she thinks more in the way the taller the better. People that think like that, tend to lie up about there height, no mattering if they are a girl or boy.

I gave her a "Forgotten NY Book" written by a local writer and asked "Exactly how tall are you" ?
She said "Around 6'2 ...pro tennis shoes add an inch" but still dodged giving an exact number. I assume there must be a reason for this but I know NOTHING about Tennis
As for her loosing, from what I could tell she's quite a partier and living like a normal girl these days.

Federer is listed as 186cm so i would say Maria was about 184-185 looking at that pic. Womens tennis shoes are alot bigger if you notice them to give more protection to their ankles which is why the women would be measured taller.

I found that most of the players that I met were close to their listed height except for Youzhny. He seemed a bit less. Also I saw Sharapova and I wasn't that impressed with her height.

Wow, nice photo Stuart, it's a really close tie between Federer and Sharapova. Their shoulder levels are just about the same, although Federer's chin starts much lower than Sharapova's yet they reach the same height haha, he's got a longer face or else Sharapova would have been taller. Too bad we can't see them with their caps off, it would have given a much clearer comparison, you know every centimeter counts when comparing Sharapova's height...
Yep, you are right, perhaps Sharapova is just a mere 6'1", but the valid height range for that photo is anywhere from 6'1" to 6'2", so definitely she's nothing over 6'2", more likely 6'1"+, why the heck do these commentators keep announcing she's 6'3"? they need glasses.

Tennis players are measured with tennis shoes on. To me Roddick is 6' 1" becasue in shoes his coach described him as 6' 2.5". Federer'd height for sum reason seems to be most accurate.

I met her yesterday when she was leaving the practice courts. I was wearing heels that made me maybe 5'10" barefoot and she was obviously wearing tennis shoes which gave her about an inch extra height. She seemed to me maybe 4-5 inches taller than me. I couldn't get close enough to her to tell but she seemed in the 6'1"-6'2" range so yes pretty tall.

6'1 is probably the ideal height you can have in the US.. In Europe you need 2 or 3 extra inches.. So I'd say 185 - 190

Adam, I was the last Anonymous who wrote under your post.
180cm? In some European countries thats just the average height range. I recon it's more necessary to be 190cm to be tall but not too tall universally.

well Adam, a close friend of mine who is at least 6'7" barefoot told me once he believes the ideal height is 190cm (almost 6'3"), that way you're tall, but not too tall.
Btw the guy who's dating Sharapova (hypothetically) would have to be at least 6'4" - 6'5" so that she wouldn't make him look shorter in her heels!

Hey xXx i totally agree with you that when you say to someone they are tall its like saying they are pretty. But then again there is still a happy medium. From a guys point of view being called tall is something that is great but there is such thing as being too tall. I saw a guy out who i spoke to who was from New York and he was 203cm tall (6' 8") and when i asked him at 1st he said 6' 3" - 6' 4" then when i said to him no way you are at least 5-6 inches taller than me at 187cm (roughly 6' 2"). Then he slowly went up to 6' 6" and i was like more like 6' 8" and he came out with actually im 203cm. He then asked me what i was and i said 187cm andhe relpied you see you 6' 1"- 6' 2" guys have it better thats an ideal height to be you dont like weird nnext to 5' 2" girls and you are tall enough for the 6' 0" girls out there. He said he wished he wasn't so tall. He made me look average yeat i was still cosidered a tall in society and a good tall. I belive male models have to be no less than 5' 11 but no more than 6' 2" so that says it all. I don't think Maria Sharapova has a problem with her height. I think she looks good. Its not like if she goes out with someone 5' 11 - 6' 1" they look inferier because they are still tall like i was still tall next to the 6' 8" guy if you get what i mean?

Katy,
You are so right, but at the same time you are even more wrong. Yes it would be nasty to tell Shakira, "God, you're short". BEACUSE BEEN SHORT IS NOT A GOOD THING. That is why nobody would say that to her Daaaaaa. But on the other hand, if I happend to see you walking down the street and you happend to be tall, I would tell you that in your face, and brace myself :). Because tall to me and probably most people, is like saying your pretty. Been tall is some thing good not bad. The only one that thinks been tall bad is you katy. Remember this, people see only what they want to see. Haven't you seen "the sixth sence" :)

Katy it would only be said in a good way. Ivae gone on record on here to mention that Maria is the most elegant girl imo on the wta whether she is 5' 2" -6' 2" it wouldnn't make a difference to me. If i was made to look consederably shorter by a girl it would be different but at 187cm i dont think that is going to happen.

I see KT, nice encounter, but when you say 'HUGE' regarding Sharapova you mean 6'2" spot on or more like 6'3" and above? Quite a few accouncers now days are reffering to her as 6'3" rather than 6'2", I still believe she's in the 6'1"+ zone, doubt she grow more since then.
On a lighter note I gotta agree with you buddy, she used to be 'all cute' up until she was about 17-18, then she started to look more manly muscular, a bit of a turn off for me.

I live in NY, and last year me and my buddy got tickets to the US Open for free. It took place at that place right next to Shea Stadium.
I'm not a tennis fan, but there's 2 things I remember. 1- It was about 100 degrees. And 2- Sharapova was HUGE. I didn't see her play, only saw her do her warm-up. She walked right by me at the railing after she finished. I'm a good 5'11"-6'0", and she towered over me.
She looked different too. Less attractive. A lot of freckles and something about a girl being over 6'0" turns me off.
I like tall girls, sure..but by tall, I mean 5'8"-5'10".

Geez Adam, I think that Maria probably is aware that she is tall...would you say to Shakira, "God, you're short"? How about saying something like, God, you are so pretty, or Geez, your eyes are so blue or green or whatever. Get some class, dude!!

Adam I was 1.85m at 15 and 1.87m at 16... it wasn't until I was 19~20 that I reached a full 188cm, it was a slow and long process, I think you might have hope to be a legit 6'2".

Yuri claims 6-0, Maria's mom is 5-7 according to Maria. That photo's a bit skewed since Maria is closer, but she's clearly at least a couple inches taller.

who was the guy who said Maria and Yuri (her father) were the same height. She is a fair way taller than him:

It's unusual for a woman to be taller than her dad.

I use the door and standing on a wooden floor. I have a T-square and stand at the edge of the door. The T-square then comes down perfectly square on my full head. Then I measure using a steel measuring tape. I also don't think you should use your morning height as your height. I use the height I am when I come home from work and lie on the sofa for about 15 mins to let the spine stretch out for a while. I think that's a pretty accurate measurement of your height. These people that give their height in shoes + morning height....wtf ??

Adam, best way probably to get your height is have someone take a tape measure and mark you against the wall. Some people also go by the front of the top of their head while you have to go by the tip of the top of the head. Even those stadiometers can be off a bit sometimes at the doctor's office.

Adam, the machine says I'm 6'0-6'0.5 in sneakers thats my barefoot height. I'm minimum 6'1-6'1.25 in sneakers, depending on sneakers and time of the day. I could get up to a little over 6'2 if I put on Nike Shox right out of bed.

Arjun, they're off normally 1-2 inches either way but mostly it'll say you're shorter than you really are.
I'm overweight at 195lbs at 6'0.5 but I'm in good shape. Those ideal weights are made for the people with normal body types.

Those machines are crap .... I've had one tell me I was 5'7" in converse, when I'm pretty much 5'8" barefoot for most of the day. It also calculated BMI, and although it downgraded my height, it got the weight right, so I was right in the "ideal" range, lol. I'm just 135 lbs by the way, quite skinny.
