Alex i totally agree. I think you need to go on those machines with shoes on becasue i got weighed and measured at my doctors 15mins before testing one of these machines and with shoes on the machine gave me the exact same findings in height and weight. Those machines are useless i my opinion. Best do it yourself. Im 20 nearly 21 does anyone think i can grown about an inch still?

Adam, those machines that you put a quarter in for your height and weight can be off, especially the height. If you tilt your head the wrong way or make a move it can mess it up. I'm 6'0-6'0.5 and in sneakers easily 6'1-6'1.5 for the most part unless I did it very early in the morning and the machine said I was as low as 5'11.5-6'0.5 in sneakers.
Lowest Maria could be is 6'1 barefoot.

If i met Maria and i said to her god your tall! How tall ru? And she said 6' 2" but to me it was obvious that i had the slight edge i would have no problam in saying yeah the same ven though im 187cm. She probs is about the same as me barefoot. Probs not as tall when you think im over 6' 3" in tennis shoes.

Yeah i would of thought so i think i would aswell although i am 187cm which isn't quite 6' 2" as 187.96 is 6' 2".I looked on the LTA site and it gives Tommy Haas and Andy Roddick as 6' 2" (187cm) so would think so. I think if you are over 6'1 and a half you would be 6' 2". Federer is 185-186 which isn't over 6'1" so he is billed as 6' 1"! Yeah i am 1t least 187cm barefoot for most of the day according to my doctor but most of the time my grandad and mum have measured me at 188 at least for about a year now so imnot sure. Also i have been on one of those weiging and height scales and it said i was just 6' 1" (185cm) but i got told that i wasn't supposed to take my shoes off for that so i lost at least 2cm. I did it with shoes and was 187cm. Surely my doc and parents cant get it that wrong.

msn 87 just to add something els i havn't been properly measured in shoes but i think i held i tape measure up one and i was 189-190 so i defo think you have a cm or maybe 1.5cm on me barefoot which would make you 188 maybe 190?

Not a problem msn 87! I am 187cm without shoes. I would probably guess that you were about 188cm barefoot! So you would be a full 6' 2" at least i would of thought. Im 189-190cm in shoes so if you are 191 in sneakers you are defo a full 6' 2". Most of the time i measure 188cm but i trust my doctors evaluation of 187cm. Did you wana know what your height would be barefoot?

Hey Adam... if you are 6'3 , you would most likey get billed at either 6'3 or 6'4 (probably 6'4)... they dont tend to exagerated with guys that tall anyway. Dont get me wrong, they dont do it for literally everyone ... some players they get pretty accurate.. For instance Agassi... And I wont say right off the bat Maria isnt 6'2 only because I havnt seen her in person, but its highly doubtful.

Mike so Maria isn't really a full 6' 2" barefoot then? So is she more like 6' 1" barefoot? I can difinetely believe that they are measured in tennis shoes because if you compare Nadal and Federer thay are both listed as 6' 1" and i have looked at buying both of their tennis shoes online and i can tell that Nadal's would give more height that would get him closer to 6' 1" if you get what i mean? Im about 6' 3" in shoes so does that mean in the lta i would be billed at 6' 3"?

The photo of Maria and the other WTA women is from January 2007 so I doubt Vaidisova has grown since then.

To Adam: The WTA do do height in shoes... I have been to the AUS open a few times and this becomes apparent when you see them in person. For players 6'3 the heights are usually very accurate as there is no reason to fib. The worst exageration was Mark Woodford at 6'2... real height 5'10' - 5'11.

From that picture i would say that Venus was taller but i would of thought that her shoes are bigger than Maria's. I would probably say Venus is 6'1" and Maria is 6'1.5" barefoot. I defo think the wta round up or do height in shoes. Be interesting to see all the pleyers heights barefoot and in cm. Theres alot of players whos height in cm doesnt match their height in feet and inches. i.e tommy haas (187cm 6' 2"???). Nadal (182cm 6'0")

That pic of Maria with Clijsters, Vaidisova, Schnyder and others is an old pic, certainly not from this year and Vaidisova would have grown since then.
The video posted by xXx was very interesting if you pause it at the 1:40 mark. Sharapova and Venus meet at the net and though Maria is standing straight and Venus isn't the pic suggests Maria is a bit shorter. The camera angle may be in Venus's favour but if you look at them relative to the net, Venus legs are higher above the net than Sharapova's (even though the net is a bit lower where Maria is standing as the net tends to be lower at the middle and higher at the ends). I think it casts quite a shadow of doubt as to whether Maria is taller than Venus.

Ivanovic said herself that she is 6-1. If Vaidisova was taller then she has definitely grown. Rob I think we should a section Vaidisova as well, or is she not quite a 'celeb' yet?

In french open, Ana Ivanovic was around the same height as Maria. And in Wimbledon, Nicole Vaidisova was 1 to 1.5 inch taller than Ana Ivanovic. Ana ivanovic is listed as 6'0 and Nicole is listed as 6'1', so therefore Maria can't be 6'2". I think she is more like 6'0.5"

Venus Williams looked taller than Maria at Wimbledon and Venus is listed at 6'2" so maria is defnitely not taller than 6'2". From what I saw Maria has defnitely bulked up and is nearer 160 - 170lbs and not the ridiculous 130 she is listed at. Did any of you see Nicloe Vaidisova she is the next glamour girlafter maria and is rite up there in height as well.

I believe the growth spurt between 2002-2004 (3inches) but then to carry on at a rate like that to reach 6"2 in just a year is abit to much? I think Maria is in the 186cm mark.
Davenport: 189cm
Sharapova: 186cm
VWilliams: 185cm
Ivanovic: 1Has anyone everconsidered that the wta and atp round up on height for players? I guess thats where they get measure right? For example Andrew Roddick is listed as 6'2" (187cm)? and so is a few other players where the no of cm doesnt account for the height in feel and inches. Like Rafael Nadal is listed as 6ft (182cm)? Maybe Roddick was measured as 186.75cm they round that up to 187cm the look what that would be in feet and inches and see 187.96 as 6ft 2inches and list him as that? Does anyone think that is a possibility? Maybe height should be just done in cm?

I'm convinced she's a genuine 6'1.5" to 6'2" barefoot, but not as tall as 6'2.5", and will not grow anymore from age 20. Weight about 150-155. Ivanovic is definitely 'thicker' than Sharapova. I think Maria's wide shoulders give more impression of weight. I've got dibs on the measuring tape and scale!

I think Sharapova will still put on a few more kilos. I dunno for some reason she still looks thin, especially from the side. About the height, it will go on and on until she's being measured live during press conference.

Editor Rob maybe a few heights might be satire, I don't know...all I know is I created my own site with an intention and its pretty much on track. I said in 2005 a goal was 5000 heights...I'm not far from that now, another goal now is for me to get 500 okayish pics. By that time I'm sure glenn will be well past 5000!.
One thing though, I certainly don't need to scramble about guestbooks looking for visitors like some do, especially when I regularly get 15,000 daily visitors.
As I've said before, and others who have met me in person will attest, this site entirely covers loads of wee getaways for me, I've been all over the place the last year visiting friends, having a ball at conventions and whatnot. I fully plan to continue with that through 2008, I may be holding back putting some of my pics up, but there's no rush.
Come 2009, that would be 5 years...sometimes, 5 years on one site is enough.

I agree with most heights on this site but some I do think are off 1-2 inches. A lot of my estimates with Viper are about an inch apart really.
But face it everyone on this site thinks their estimates are the most accurate really.

If you want to see some downgrading, head on over to the big-headed pygmies site. They have people like Orlando Bloom at 5-5 and Kirsten Dunst at 5-0, with no evidence to back it up too.

I don't think Viper will be off more than an inch on celebrity's real height, even tho if that inch is one inch less than his true height, he's just keeping things real. In the same respect there are people who tend to upgrade celebs.

During the french Open Presentation Ceremony, Mary Pierce was on the dias to present the trophy and Ana Ivanovic looked to be abt 2 inches taller than Mary Pierce who is 5'11", so that makes Ana 6'1". One thing which was very noticable was how big mary pierce had got, she came onto the tour as a 16yr old who was 5'11' and 130 lbs. She ended up retiring at abt 160lbs but now she looks abt 190 lbs.

I've noticed something on this site. The guy named Viper always says the person is one or two inches shorter than the posted height. Honestly, why would every (yes, every) person be listed taller than they really are? That Viper just needs to quit hatin!

If Dementieva is really only 180cm, then almost every player next to her is about 2cm then what we thought.
I think Gramps has an interesting point when he said she doesn't want to be seen as a tall girl, 180cm just sounds fine, a round number, making her sound tall, but not too tall and that's what she wants to be known as.

RRR, how tall do you think Dementieva is? The 180cm she is listed or 182cm as she says herself? or possibly taller than 182cm, only that she does want want to be seen as a 'very tall' (over 6 foot) girl therefore downplaying her height.

Gramps is right. One pic shows Ana looking marginally taller than Sharapova while the other pic shows Maria clearly taller than Ana. The camera can play tricks so the only way to properly compare the heights of two people is to have them standing directly next to each other.

This morning, I just heard Jim Courier on a sports radio show say that Sharapova is 6 ft 3. I'm sure he's judging from his own height and in tennis shoes because she's not listed as 6 ft 3.

Here is one pretty good one, but angles are always deceiving. Some of you may remember two photos at the net I linked a couple months back, each showing a different player looking 1+" taller than the other, and the photos were taken at the same instant by two differen photographers from similar perspectives. Again, angles are very tricky.

You'll find a picture on mariasharapova.com The pic is not a full length one though. It seems to suggest that Ivanovic is at least Maria's height. Tough one to call.... is it possible Ivanovic could have grown? How old is she?

Can anyone find pictures of the handshake from Sharapova's match today.
She played Ana Ivanovic, who is 6 foot 1 so it should give a very good comparison.
I watched the match and there seems very little difference between them, but it is hard to tell when they are moving. Pictures would help :)

Finally the pictures worked...
So Gramps... Dementieva claimed herself 182cm in an interview, you say she is over 6ft (182.88cm), so you really think she in the 183-184cm range and taller than the 182cm she claims?

I agree Gramps we should write a letter to Dementieva's website asking them to bust out the measuring tape on her, I would be suprised if they replied you saying she is still only 5'11". I admit she can look more 6ft than 5'11".
I'll see if there's a way to contact her web site official if there's any update on her height. One thing that puzzles me is that she's already getting close to 26, so when exactly did she manage to squeeze an inch after she's been listed 5'11" for so long already? Is there any something in playing professional tennis that causes late growth spurts? lol

Yep, tallgalslover, Dementieva looks no less shorter than Sharapova over there! Dementieva is known to be 180cm, I saw her on WTA Istanbul clips she looked very tall I almost mistaked her for being Sharapova from a distance.
If you look at that picture, Dementieva is wearing a dress which I assume she is wearing some sort of heels with that, although we don't know if they're big heels or what. Sharapova is wearing a jeans and long sleeves t-shirt, so I'm assuming she is in normal footwear? but you never know.

Haha and I guess the commentater also said she's 130lbs?

I still want to know why got presented as 185cm in WTA Istanbul.

sharapova is not standing well, plus they are both in heels which i cannot be certain for the height boost they offer, and don't forget there's nearly a whole foot difference between them! its not easy to judge height like that. besides maria is not some 7 foot giant that we need to compare her to people a foot shorter on average. theres much better people to compare her with closer to her height. i believe now sharapova is a flat 6'1" and no more.

So Sharapova is defnitely abt 175 lbs and the 130 lbs she is listed at is ridiculous

So..... anyone got a clue yet why is she presented as 1.85m / 6'0.83" in the WTA Istanbul Cup 2007 while other players there are listed with their official heights as always?
Only because Istanbul is located in a foreign country to the USA, and they use metric system over there, I have this suspicion she was measured for the WTA over there at 1.85m where they didn't have any reason to inflate her height like in the states where she easily gets listed at 6'3" as she's much more popular over there.
Her 130lbs weight listing is completely bias, sometimes I think she bribes the guys taking her measurements to not reveal her true weight lmao. Afterall she's just a girl and like 99.99% of women most likely has weight obsession. My guess is 170-5 lbs for her.

All women look more classy and elegant in high heels than flat shoes. That is as true for a woman 5'2" as it is for a woman 6'2". This is the precise reason supermodels are usually required to wear heels when modelling. It accentuates the legs. It doesn't mean the person is trying to be tall or has an issue with their height. It's not like she wears outrageous heels or platforms like Christina Aguilera for example.

6'1 sounds dead on. The 185.2 cms sounds about right, 6'1.25 by the morning and 6'0.75 before going to bed. This guy in this pic is 5'7, he reaches up her nose. She's using heels there. Late August 2005. Check out the same pictures for that event and look at Sharapova's heels. Not sure if she's grown or not though. I don't think she did, she was already 18.

With Wade who's about 6'4 barefoot add shoes and you get 6'5-6'5.25 and she looks a bit taller than him in heels but he appears to be leaning a bit. She looks a legit 6'2 there though.

I agree with Jason that she's 6'1 and change or 6'1 at the least. The 6'2 may just be rounding up.

As Rob says, Wade's 6-5-ish in shoes. Those look to be around 3-inch heels. Even if they're bigger, they're not platforms, so this Click Here principle is in play and she can only get about 3 inches out of the shoes.

She appears about 191cm/6'3 1/4'' - or a half inch shorter than 6'3 3/4'' Wade - in heels with him. That would suggest 6'1''ish bare foot.

umm Michelle Wie turns 18 later this year, not sure where you got 15 from, so doubt she is still growing (or will grow little more than what she is now)

These pics continue to fuel more debate. Maria looks 6'2" next to LeBron but doesn't measure up as she should against 6'5" Manning. Jennie Finch looks almost as tall as Manning which suggests she is taller than Maria although she is listed at 6'1". There's a pic of Finch (full length) where you can see her feet (though not her shoes). Her soles appear flat on the ground which implies that her heels aren't high at all.
It would have been informative to see Maria stand next to her. Even if she grew after turning 18 (which is very rare, especially for a girl) it couldn't be more than an inch. Michelle Wie, the 15 year old golfer stands 6'1" and is still growing. It would be nice to see Maria stand next to some tall female athletes at events such as these.
I still believe Maria to be 6'2" or thereabouts as she is taller than Venus. Plus, in the sports illustrated swimsuit shoot with supermodels such as Daniela Pestova, Veronica Varekova and Rachel Hunter ( who is 5'11") she is comfortably the tallest although she slouches next to them. Finally, in the pic earlier on this forum of her standing next to Claudia Schiffer she was again noticeably taller in spite of her slouching. She only seems to stand erect when next to people that are much taller than her. She ought to be proud of her height. It makes her look really nice, she doesn't look overly lanky.

How much taller is Peyton Manning than Eli Manning though? I know Eli is listed at 6'4 but when I saw him at a football game he wasn't close enough to get a very good estimate on his height nor was he on the same level ground I was on and I know he can't be this short but he only looked 5'11 from a distance.

Lifts while playing Tennis? You won't be able to play good at all then, let alone move around well. But Maria has me stumped on her height though, because she really passes as a 6'1-6'2 girl to me almost all the time but with Peyton she looks 5'11.

that 2007 pic isn't that good: again, can't check the footwear(i know she isn't wearing heels, but some tennis-shoes gives a little more height than others).
notice Serena's shoulders, bending a bit sideways, cause she's problems holding the trophy: not standing 100% straight up.
if she was standing straight, the top of Serena's head would be above(not much but above) Maria's eyelevel; that's 4 inches
Serena is 5'9.25 (1'76 m). now do the math...
(*Drumroll*)DRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrCHING!
1'86½ m (1'89 m+ w/ tennis shoes)

Shes a little under Peyton's eye level which could be 5.5 inches. He has a long forehead so that would make Maria 5'11 in that photo or just under.

Maria is not shy about her height! Any girl shy about their height would not wear 3-4 inch heels! She loves her Christian Loubitions!
Maria is 6'2...Andy is self-concious about his height, he's always telling Maria to take off her heels or he stands on his tip toes.
Maria is 6'2...Venus is a listed as 6'1 and she is a little shorter than Maria. If Maria is 6'1 or 6' then that would make Venus 5-11. I have seen Venus in person and there is no way she is under 6'.

Maybe you guys forgot, but Maria reported on growing to 6'2" around late augost in 2005 already. She made a big issue about it. You can guys search for articles over the internet about it, they are all from late augost 2005 when Maria reported she's already grew to 6'2".
This is just too confusing... so Maria reported she grew to 6'2" in augost 2005, where almost 2 years later it seems like she is still not the full 6'2" she claimed in 2005... or perhaps she claimed to be 6'2" while still being 6'0", hoping she will grow more? lol
What I don't understand is if Maria was still only around 6'0" in 2005, so why did she claim the growth which made her 6'2"? and it seems like most of you think she was only 6'0" in 2005 and only recently she grew a little an inch or two... it's just too messed up.

Really she would be 5'11 or even 5'10.5 with Peyton if you look at it again. Thats more than 5 inches. His eye level from the top of his head is 5-5.5 inches and she's just under it. Its crazy because she looks 6'1-6'2 in any other picture. She's closer to Lebron James than she is with Peyton! But could be in heels in one photo and not the other.

Eliza... the thing is most people here ARE trying to estimate her height from various pictures with her in it, which is very innacurate... because I havnt met her personally, you are right, I cannot say for certain what height she is... its just a gut feeling now. I guess what spawned this off was when I met Andy Roddick at the Aus open and was surprised at how much shorter he was in person than on TV (we were the same height and im 6' without shoes). He also looked more thickly built in person. Hes a solid 190 + lbs easy. So thats why when I saw pictures with Roddick and Sharapova together and she isnt taller in any of them, it makes me think shes not over 6ft, although i cannot say because they are just pictures.

Doesnt matter what she confirms...the photos say otherwise. I come across people all the time who lie about their height... some do it on purpose, some genuinely dont know. No picture I have seen suggest shes over 6ft. I will be the first to admit im wrong if I do see some good pictures. Perhpas come Wimbledon we may get some.

What are you talking about? 1-1,5 year ago Maria said herself: I am 186,5 barefoot, so in my favourite shoes I am 6 ft.4! It is a little bit too much!... So, yes, her height is 187-188... SHE CONFIRMS THAT NOWADAYS!

msn87: All three photos are bogus:
Perry - she easily looks 3" taller
Roddick #1 - That laughable photo has been shown here so many times that Roddick's arches are cramping from standing on his tippie-toes so long!
Roddick #2 - Roddick is closer to the camera, which is also much lower than their heads = useless photo.

I don't think she's under 6'2. It's pretty obvious from a few quotes (including the one Rob posted) that Maria is shy and self-conscious about her height. A tall woman would not upgrade her height. She's at least 6'2.

@Viper,
keep in mind that since 2005, she has maybe grown a bit - her notorious growth-spurt has been mentioned a few times; but how much can that be. not more than an inch.

Actually, If shes wearing heels with Peyton then shes under 6-0 pretty easily. I also showed pictures where she looked at least 2 inches shorter than 6-2 3/4 Terrell Owens. And she might have been in heels there as well.

Perry is 5-10 MAX. Nowhere close to 6-0. Shes looking 6-0-6-1 there. Pretty much her true height. She also looks 6-0 Max with 6-5 Peyton Manning on the same page. Hell, Im starting to think she might be just 6-0 and not even 6-1.

yes Viper, she doesn't. wait till i find some pics which are rather 'shocking' for the people (incl. herself) who claim 6'2 or 6'3 (btw she likes being tall. methinks she lies about 6'2-6'3).
I saw one pic(was i.M.D.b i believe)with Matthew Perry who's 6'0 or 6'1. He's clearly taller.
Viper among others may disagree, but once again my guess is(may be 187cm in the morning)186.25cm and 186.75cm at the absolute MAX.

Yes I agree, she might be 6'1.5 in tennis shoes, and they just call that 6'2 like with Roddick. And in response to "Anonymous"... that picture cannot be used... please your kidding? Roddicks head is bent down..worst comparison photo. Unless there is photo evidence, I hardly think a misguided quote of Maria sayin "not wanting to be 6ft'2" can be taken as gospel. Thats why half the quotes on this site are wrong. She could have been exagerating or quoting her height in shoes. The photo evidence that she is 6'2 is heavily lacking is all im saying. 5'11.5 without shoes is my guess.

Maria could be 6'1.5 and rounding up but most girls won't round up since they don't wanna be taller so she may be a legit 6'2.
Venus at 5'11 is very hard to believe. She's gotta be 6'0 at least. 6'1 possibly.

I would bet that she is no way 6'3" or close to it. Slim, tall girls always appear taller than guys of the same height because of their smaller heads and higher & narrower shoulders. Its like that architectural trick of making a building seem taller by tapering it as it goes up. She is 6'2" (188 cm), but in her tennis shoes. That puts her around the 6'0.75 - 6'1" mark in her barefeet.

My GOD! People! Sharapova confirms herself that she is 188 cm. A tall girl will never say she is taller than she really is. You can always see that Maria is always much taller than anybody in all the pics (nowadays, I am not saying about the pics that were made some years ago)!!!! Venus is always very tall - just look at the pics with her sister Serena (the difference is about 10 cm.). Official sites of Maria say: height: 188 cm. official sites of Venus say that her height is 185 cm. Do not you think that they write in the sites their heights also in tennis shoes (sorry for my poor English).

but at same time it would mean that for example Venus Williams then is shorter than the given 6'1; makes little sense. but maybe you're right wit the tennis-thing (measuring with shoes)- so she(Williams)would probably be 6'0.
but Maria is still taller than her. my gues is still 186.75 for her.

Some of the claims on here are just plain ridiculous. 6'3? MY conservative estimate on her height is 183 cm. For all you using the Roddick comparison to prove points you should know Roddicks height is 6'0 even. In tennis, 6'1.5 means 6'0 (they probably measure them in shoes). But its not just guessing, because I stop 1 meter away from Roddick at the aus open on even surface and my father said I was as tall if not slightly taller (im 6'and a quarter). Sharapova im guessing is between 5'11 and 6'

i personally think she's 6'1.5 on the spot. and yes, she should probably have a 6'6.5 guy. then it would fit...XD
but if you ask me, women should be MAX 5'11 and nothing more than that, otherwise it's disgusting.

Heck, tell me about it, I'm 6'3" and would never consider going out with a 6'1 - 6'1.5 chick, it's just way too tall. My ex-girlfriend was quite tall already and still liked wearing big heels to events and concerts. Now, Sharapova say 6'1 to 6'1.5 and we know she likes wearing heels to public events, she would be taller (in her heels) than a 6'3 guy wearing regular shoes. I'd say she's better suited with a guy around 6'5" height wise.

So... what's the verdict? It seems like we grew tired of figuring out her true height and we divide into 3 main groups...
1. She's still growing and nearly 6'3"
2. She's 6'2" as said here
3. She's really only 6'1" - 6.1.5", but definitely under 6'2"

Wow, Gramps... I'm impressed -- but I can't imagine Maria is really THAT tall!
If Zvonoreva is really 5'8" and the camera angle were level, that would put Maria at about 6'6"! (thus putting both premises in question)
Still, it shows she's significantly taller than Vera Zvonareva.

Kia, it's been said that Roddick is on his tiptoes in that picture, I don't know myself if it's true but if Roddick is 6'1.5" and Maria is also around 6'1" and wearing heels she should be significantly taller than him. If Maria is wearing flats and Roddick is not tip toeing then I could believe Maria to be around 6'0" to 6'1".
I'm starting to believe myself Maria is around the 6'2" and I'm just too amazed at her growth rate from 5'3" to 6'2, makes me wonder if her father gave her HGH lol.

This picture shows them both from the waist up. It is inconclusive again as there is no way to tell whether she has on heels unless you actually see them. Are they on level ground? Is he on tip toes? If in fact it can be proven that she is in heels, then I would have to agree that he is taller. For example, the pic with her and the canon girl next to her provide conclusive proof that she is at least a few inches shorter than that girl (they are standing next to each other and you can see their footwear). Pics like this one with Roddick don't provide clear answers.

That's the same picture where Roddick is standing on his tiptoes... I just posted this 3 weeks ago. Try to read some of the older discussion.
The pic from the personal site is useless without knowing the date it was taken. Maria's doing some extreme slouching/bending in that one and Roddick is much closer in the frame.

Again, it is not possible to accurately compare Sharapova's height with Roddick. He is closer to the camera and the angle is in his favour. It would be possible to compare only if they were next to each other. I think she looks every bit 6' 2", especially next to tall players like Venus and Dementieva.In her sport she is right up there in height, trailing probably only Davenport.
However, it would be cool to compare her to female athletes in other disciplines. Her compatriot and namesake Maria Stepanova plays in the WNBA and is 6'8". So is Katie Feenstra and Lindsay Taylor. Margo Dydek is a staggering 7'2" (taller than Shaq!!) and is therefore a whole foot taller than Sharapova.
In Volleyball, there are many Russians 6'9" and above, like Ekaterina Gamova and Nelly Fonova. Even Kerri Walsh and Gabrielle Reece at 6'3" each will look short next to them.
Even the tallest tennis players will be dwarfed in comparison to their counterparts in basketball and volleyball. Unfortunately, as they are in different sporting disciplines we may not see any such pics of Maria standing toe to toe with these girls.

Well, for starters, remember all the other photos in which Sharapova had heels on. With all that, she and Roger Federer were the same height. In this picture, she doesn't look like she's got heels on. Thus she's not 6'2, more like 6.

In that pic with Roddick, Sharapova (accounting for the slouch and the camera favouring Roddick) is no taller than Roddick. Roddick is at best 187cm. I'd put Sharapova at maybe 6'2" at a push. Definitely not 6'3". Also, the guy beside her, if Sharapova stood up straight probably has 3" on him, do you think he's 6 foot ???

6'3 looks right whatever that means. How in the world people can argue the minuate of the height of people they've never met is a mystery. Someone says "well she's 8 inches taller than..." but for that to work they have to validate that persons height. If you have the unlikely chance to measure someone fine-otherwise take it for what it is-a fun game. NEWSFLASH-every celebrity is'nt shorter than listed.

A pic in Kelly Ripa's section suggested that she's 5-6. So here's the same Ripa barely coming up to Maria's shoulders.

A 6-1 chick on a tennis court looks just as huge. I havnt seen any evidence yet where she looks 6-2.

No she is a full 6'2''. She looks huge on tenniscourt. By the way, I see there is another Chris. Maybe one of us could change to a small c?

Maria Sharapova is still 6'0 ft tall. The girl loves being and looking tall. With trainers, she is 6'1. In parties, she wears 4 inches heels, which makes her seem like she's 6'4. But her natural height, barefoot is 6'0.

Obviously, I've had *waaaaaay* too much time on my hands lately!
But really, it doesn't matter what *anyone* says, does it? Not even Ms Sharapova! It's so easy to get into circular logic. There obviously isn't any way you can know 'beyond a reasonable doubt' what either her height or her weight is, unless they submit to measurement. In the end, short of having irrefutable proof, we'll all believe what we want to believe. Happy continued speculating!

If I read correctly, that photo (I could only get one link to work) were time-stamped to last Septmeber. And I think the whole point specifically with Ms Sharapova is that she's continued growing since then...hence the inaccurate height and weight stats prevalent online. Obviously, what we need from a scientific point of view is for someone to get her to fall in love with them and create the circumstances in which a good and proper measurement is possible. Either that, or some laser-based remote measuring device...

Nope, sorry, no money, Mr. Mouse. You think because you're relying on something you read on the Internet, that it must be true? That Reece is 170? Sorry - because someone wrote that, doesn't make it so. Didn't I just provide a reference from the Internet that says Maria is 130 and only 4 pounds heavier than a woman she is 9 inches taller than? Do you believe that?
And, even if Gabrielle, herself, said that she was 170, it just doesn't make it so. Like I said, women, just like you pointed out, usually don't want to be too tall and weigh too much. They lie about both. And, I'd bet Gabrielle is over 170. Sorry, but common sense just tells me she probably is. But at least she's not claiming she's 125 or something. My neighbor's girlfriend claims she's only 6'1". Yet, she's too inches taller than my neighbor, who is 6'1". She is obviously self-conscious about her height. A girl I had a blind date with, insisted she was 5'7", 140 pounds. Even when we met, she talked about working out, etc, and how she's "happy" with her phsyique/weight, etc. Of course, since she probably weighed about 200, I wasn't as happy.
My belabored point is that women lie about their weights - all the time. I do believe that Sharapove is near 180.
At least we agree on height. I'm done with weight. Sorry Rob!

ralph... Actually, that picture doesn't 'prove' anything. The only picture that I've seen on this page that 'proves' anything is the one I linked to with Henin-Hardenne at the US Open, when they're both in tennis shoes, standing right beside each other...and Sharapova is actually not even standing up perfectly straight. The photo with Barton is hardly evidence of anything except Maria bending so as not to look *that* much taller than the actress...who herself is *very* self-conscious about her height. Us males forget that women generally *don't* want to be tall, hate to acknowledge they're tall. All the 'sizable' women I've had in my life *loved* being made to feel 'tiny' in comparison to me. This is why so many actresses (and female athletes) flat-out lie about their heights. (Gabrielle Reece is an exception, but then she ended up with Laird Hamilton, who is 6'4"...and probably made 'Gabby' feel all the better about her size.) Men, on the other hand, tend to exaggerate most things.

Here's an interesting frame of reference for you: Click Here
Gabrielle Reece, a genuine 6'3" athlete. Similar frame to Ms Sharapova, but is 16+ years older...and weighs 170 lbs. So there is every possibility that Maria could end up at this weight, or even more...but no matter that she's a professional tennis player, she's still a veritable kid and simply does not have the mature muscle mass to tip the scales at some 'Xena-ish' number. In five years, sure. but right now, she's somewhere in the neighbourhood of 'a buck and a half'. (You wanna have someone hold our money, sf...?)

Anon E Mouse - agree with you on some point regarding Henin, but she's been in the game a long time - longer than most people realize. And, at a later stage in her career, she is actually excelling. I think she was in the final of every Grand Slam tournament this year. Won at least one of them. Size can be important in tennis, but really isn't that much of a determining factor when one has the skills, determination and mental toughness...

Henin-Hardenne's weight is actually probably pretty close to what you found listed. Her size is going to be the determining factor as to how long she lasts in the game; she's actually on the 'frail' side for someone generating the power she needs to excel in the woman's game right now.

sf, 185lbs is over 13 stone which for a 6'1" guys is a normal healthy weight. If you look at football players (or soccer if you are American) then the majority of them who are my height weigh in the region of 175lbs to 190lbs.
I have a 33" - 34" waist, is that skinny for a 6'1" guy? Any larger and I would consider myself getting a bit of a belly.
I'm with you on her fantastic build, I like the look of fit, muscular looking women too, however, there is real life and there is fantasy and although I would love to see a pumped up Masha at 180lbs the reality is that she is not.
I think your attraction to amazons (which I am not knocking by the way) is clouding your judgement.....

Well, I stand corrected. I just did a search for Maria Sharapova and weight and it says she's 130 pounds. Oh, yes, it also says Justin is 126 pounds. Yes, I believe that. I'm sure that Sharapova, who is 9 inches taller than Henin-Hardenne, is only 4 pounds heavier...

Anon - I'll give you one thing - that's a GREAT picture you posted next to Henin-Hardenne. I'd say at least 8 inches, and Maria is leaning in to Justin.
Add 8 or 9 inches and you're at 6'2" or 6'3" to the disbelievers. Now, if only we could get her to stand on a scale.

Ralph - did you see Maria Sharapova, just a week ago, standing next to Dick Enberg in her tennis shoes? She dwarfed him. I don't know how tall he was, but she was much taller. I was amazed how tall she was. This was in tennis shoes, standing next to a man who is not short (don't know his height, but thought close to 6'0") Anybody know how tall Dick Enberg is? Cause Maria was a lot taller. And, this was one week ago, so I doubt she's grown any taller since then.
Anon, or whatever, yes I'm projecting my awful body-image issues!!! Ahhhh!! What does a screen name with "Mouse" in it say about someone????
No, I'm just being sensible. Maria IS muscular. I didn't say she was a bodybuilder! She swings a racket, runs all over the place, works out - she's gonna have muscle. More than the average person who never exercises. Playing tennis, she's constantly using her muscles. And, you can be svelte and muscular.
My 5'5" girlfriend who weighed 145 was gorgeous, not a bodybuilder, and looked great. I'd post a picture if I could. People have different physiques, different bones structures. My friend, Sarah, is 5'7" and has a great body, and beautiful, muscular legs. But not more so, than Maria's, I'd say. My friend wieghs around 145-150. She is honest and has no problem telling me. Again, she's 5'7". She's not a body-builder, but does take care of herself, and does strength training and runs.
People have this perception that all women just weigh so little. No, most women lie about their weights. It's like if you're a woman, you can't weigh more than 120 lbs. A 6'3" woman, and I still stand by that (at least 6'2"), is gonna weight a lot - she can't help it.
I'll put a ton of money that she is near 180.
And, I still say 6'1" and 185 is kind of skinny for a guy. I'm not trying to put anyone down. That was just as statement.
Any woman that's 6'3" and only 150 pounds - THAT's skinny...

Hmm... Now people are calling each other names and that's not nice.
First off, if you're a guy and you're 6'1" and you're 185, you're certainly not 'skinny'. sf, I don't know how tall you are or how much you weigh, but I suspect you've got *some* kind of body-image issues, because you're surely projecting them!
If your girlfriend was 5'5" and 145 and 'not an ounce of fat'...then she was a bodybuilder, or at least had the mass of one.
Obviously we can't even come to a consensus on how tall Ms Sharapova is, but as for her weight... She ain't 'big'. In fact, she's 'svelte'. She's got tremendous structure, but she ain't muscular, she ain't a behemoth...and she surely isn't anywhere near the weight you're guessing. And I would put a *ton* of money on that.

sf: Then she weighs an ounce.
As mentioned previously, I've had Amazonians for girlfriends, I've got a pretty good idea of how much tall gals weigh. But seeing as Ms Sharapova really doesn't feel comfortable being as tall as she is, I can imagine how mortified she'd be reading your comment! (If she didn't wee herself laughing so hard...)

SF, although I agree with you that she is probably heavier than what we think, I would say that 180lbs is way too high. I'm a 6'1" male, who weighs 185lbs with a decent build but I'd be very surprised that Masha is almost the same weight as me (although, I would wager that her shoulders are as broad, maybe broader).
If she is 180lbs now, then in a few years time, when she has completed filled out, she would be almost 200lbs which is huge for a male or female.
At the moment, she certainly is no way skinny, and when she is interviewed on TV I always think that her arms look pretty big but at the moment I reckon she is in the region of 154lbs and will max out at about 165lbs.....
