She is taller than her dad by an inch or two... her mom is only 5-7. Neither of them are short but they are not exceptionally tall.

Daniela is listed as 5-11 at many sites. But two yrs ago she stated that she 'grew again' but didnt know much exactly. So she could be about 6' tall

How tall do you Maria Sharapova will get? Do you think it is possible that she could over 6'6? She doesn't seem to stop growing. She seems to get bigger in each tournament, maybe she has a growth disorder or something.

I watched the match and the "net meeting" between Maria and Daniela. Even before seeing the pics from mariaworld was suprised at how Maria had outgrown Daniela. IMO 6'2" and growing.

she must have had quite good nutrition to be a woman 6 foot 2. her parents, i agree, are not tall at all.

When she is standing next to Lindsay Davenport (reported as 6'3") she is virtually the same height, so I would say she is 6 ft. 2 in plus. In addition, when Sharapova played a celebrity match in Southern California, I (6' 5") was standing at one point about 8-10 feet from her, separated by a low fence and the court boundary. Yes, at least 6 ft. 2 in.

I think Maria could hit 6'5" at least, the rate she's going...Adam Levine looks 5'9" to me though.

Alex, I think her boyfriend would be (at least was) Adam Levine of Maroon Five, a rock/pop group. Not knowing how tall he is, don't know if he's taller or not. However, in this day and age, female over male heights don't make as much difference, which to me is a good thing. Thanks.

Alex, it was, at least not too long ago, Adam Levine of the rock group Maroon 5. Don't know how tall he is, but maybe it doesn't matter to either one of them. IMHO, that's the way it should be in height-related relationships, interracial relationships, etc. Do wonder, though, when she will stop growing because 6'6" may be a bit much.

In the picture of her next to her trainer, she looks like a giant.
Everything about her is big, but her femur (or thigh portion of leg) especially looks massive in length.
As for late growth spurts, most guys are done growing by 18 and most girls done growing by 15. Of course many are done growing much sooner. And on the other hand, there are those rare folks that don't stop growing until later. Among the exceptionally tall especially, you will find that a lot of them kept growing until rather late.

Well, Alex, back in my prime 40 years ago, I was very carefully measured at 6'0.25". In 2005 my son re-measured me at just a hair over 6'0" (obviously barefoot!). I'm lucky to have not been subject to any noteworthy 'shrinkage' as yet. And, since I'm within 2" of Maria's height, I could guarantee an accurate measurement - - believe me, I would be VERY meticulous!

Yeah maybe like a little above 6-2. But not 6-3. I remember meeting a 6-1 girl and thinking she was like 6-4 until I got used to her height and seeing that she's only like 5 inches taller or so. Her mom's 5'7" they said so in an interview, and I dunno about her dad's maybe like 5'11". That must suck though. She probably can't date normal guys. And a lot of guys won't date her. I think 6'0" (even though it's too tall for a girl imo) looked really good on her. But 6-2, I think is just gross. But atleast she has her looks. She's very cute, but should definitely keep her hair up. 188 cm, just above 6-2, not 6-3...yet...

Yeah based on those photos, 5-4 Sugiyama barely reaches lower part of Maria's neck. Now the length between the top of the head and lower part of the neck is around a foot. Doesn't that make Maria 6-3 or 6-4!!
But of course, Sugiyama might be shorter than her listed height. If we speculate about Maria's height, how are we sure of other players' height.....?

I thought she was 6'0", but the growth spurt claim is definately true. I'm aware that Lindsay Davenport is 6'2", so if you see the two of them side by side you can probably tell. Also, Sharapova makes some strange sounds when she plays! E.g. "Hoooooooooooooooooooo!"

6,2 is well off the mark a weak 6,1 IMO talk of that growth spurt is bull IMO. Whatever she was she still is. A girls spurt comes way before a boys and early she wouldent have another one that late on IMO it's impossible. Either that or she is indeed 6,2 or whatever height she was and was simply missmeasured or maybe she just dreamed it i don't know lol. Very suspect is this.

Let's do the math:
Jimmy = 6'1"
Jimmy + 1" heels = 6'2"
Maria 4" taller = 6'6"
6'6" - 2" heels = 6'4" = Maria's true barefoot height!
Don't know that I'd actually go THAT far, but she's certainly all of 6'2"!

A very simple observation to see how tall Maria is to look at how she compared with 6'2.5" Davenport and 6'1" Venus. When Maria stands next to Davenport, she always looks shorter. With Venus, it depends on the angle. This clearly tells us that she is definitely shorter than Davenport but at best the same height as Venus. Again, she is NOT 6'2".

LOL...
But I am quite surprised at how often her height had been mentioned in articles. Apparently Maria knew how quickly she's growing, and this has been affecting her court movement for a long time. Despite these problems, she still won Wimby and the Championship last yr and appeared in the semis of three Slams this yr. She's truly an incredible athlete.
Btw this from another article in January 2004
...She's over 6 feet and still growing, a liability on the court. "Last year my legs grew so long, and it was tough on me," says Sharapova, whose parents are both under 6 feet. "Now my upper body is growing. Must be the carrot juice."...
carrot juice..?

I work at Roland Garros and I estimate height of Venus at 184 and Serena at 176. Last year I was estimated the maria's height at around 184/185. Meaby she always grows today !

I actually saw Sharapova today at IMG academies in Bradenton; Our Manatee Community College baseball team trains there in the weightroom and she came in to warm up on a treadmill before she went out to one of the myriad of tennis courts there. Before she was on the treadmill she was standing there with her father and I walked by her and she was 2 inches taller than me and I'm 5'11.5. But by no means is she 6'3 barefoot, thats just rediculous. I might see her again but we only train there 3 days a week for one more week this year. HERSCH DADDY IS OUT!

While I agree Maria is taller than Venus and is a solid 6'2", I think mr. kennedy's photo is a little misleading due to the angles involved, the distances from the camera, and the possible tilting of the camera. I doubt there is more than a one inch difference between the two.

I dunno, I've heard Venus is shorter than her listed 6'1''. Serena Williams is listed at 5'10'' and she definitely ain't that tall.

Well, she seems to hate the fact that she is so tall, so why would she lie by saying she's taller than she actualy is? If anything she would say that she is shorter. I would have to say that she is at least 6'2 if not 6'6'3 or maybe even 6'4 I mean, she does seem to be quite a bit taller than venis williams.

They weren't in the same shoes: Uma wore almost flats, Maria had a min. 2 inch heel. So the 6'and 6'2 are about right

Yes!! I finally see the 6'2" *cheers". But I don't think that Maria really enjoys her height though it's a BIG advantage for tennis. I wish I was 6'2". Longer legs = ability to cover more court area. But I think it's possible that Maria's going above 6'2".

She is a full 6'2". Unlike most men, her objective would be to be shorter, not taller. She gains nothing by claiming to be 6'2". In fact, her competitors would publicly ridicule here if she weren't a true 6'2". Think about it. I had been wondering for a long time how she could only be listed as 6'0". She towered over the other girls, most of whom are 5'8" to 5'11" anyway. I'd bet the farm she's a full 6'2".

It's weird that Maria's past 18 and yet still having growth spurts!! I mean, it started at like 14 right? Do growth spurts last 5 years? Or is it cos of her vigorous tennis trainings? And I believe she's past 6'2" already.

that pic with her and valderama proves shes about 6'1", cause im 6'1 and 5'9 is just below my eyes, and for her it was like below her cheekbone, which i worked out is what it would be like if u were 6'3", so she would have 2 inch or 2.5 inch heels on, so she is anywhere between 6'0 and 6'1.25" odd. In that pic shed be 6'3 in heels

I just worked out that the average height of the current top 20 female tennis players is slightly over 5'10". The average was slightly over 5'8" when I checked it maybe a year ago so it seems that it may go up and down quite a bit.
I'm not sure I trust the offical heights the WTA give and I used for this, though. As examples, I think that Sharapova is taller and Henin-Hardenne smaller than the official heights.

I agree with "Dazza", Maria looked really tall at Wimbledon vs. Venus. How tall is Venus? Cause Maria was easily taller than her. I also saw a pic of her next to Serena and she is like a full head taller, and Serena is not a small girl.

She said her height in 2003 on this interview
"In a short amount of time, last year, like probably in November 2002 it started, or maybe even earlier. Just a period of time where you keep measuring yourself week after week after week. It's like longer and longer and longer. So you say, "When is this going to stop?" But I don't exactly know.....I'm 6. I would say, yeah, from 5'10" I went to 6, yeah."

I've met him, stood next to him, and he is indeed 185-186 cm. Having measured myself quite accurately and also standing around this height myself I can personally confirm Federer as 6'1". Plus, check his official website, it says 186 cm and I don't know the Swiss as being anything but honest. Maybe we can get a height listing for Rog as well, afterall he is the best player on the planet right now! Now Venus Williams ain't 6'1", and Serena Williams ain't 5'10", those are two players who are not accurately listed. :)
