Rob, could Reilly Opelka get a page?
Definitely a solid 6ft11er as well...might even give him a tiny edge over Ivo. He’s clearly taller than Isner

@Chaos: he looks every bit of it. Probably over 7’ out of bed

He’s a legit solid 6’11. I’d accept this but 6’11 1/8 or 211cm is possible

Arch true but I reckon there’s plenty of other tall people on both the mother and fathers side. That combo will usually result in very tall offspring with 6ft10 maybe more on the extreme end

That John Isner's dad was only about 6 ft too, mother around 5'11 I think, that's a more extreme case of a son being 10 inches taller than the father!

The male equivalent of 5'10.5-5'11 would be 6'4-6'5 too, normal tall range, so it can only be the combination of two sets of tall genes which can create somebody into giant range like that by exaggerating the trait.

Whenever I see somebody as tall as 6'11 I always wonder how on earth, how tall are the parents. Almost always the father is nowhere near as tall and within normal tall range but the mother at least 5 ft 10 and is the combination of the tall genes exaggerating. That Opelka kid who is arguably 6'11.25, Click Here his dad looks what 6'5 and his (cute) mother 5'10.5-5'11 maybe assuming they're all in sneakers? Both very tall but normal range, the tall genes exaggerating. It's usually the tall mother that does it.

Maybe might as well add Reilly Opelka, Rob? He does seem to edge Karlovic, could be a legit 7 footer now.

The pics with Gasol are not conclusive enough as they’re not next to each other in a good angle. I did see one where a guy had a tape measure next to him but obviously wasn’t measuring him and he had shoes on. Doubt he’s over 6’11 but wouldn’t rule 6’10 range out either

In pictures of him with Pau Gasol he looks about the same. I'd say 6'10

He's a good tennis player, but not on the same level as Federer and Djokovic. Unfortunately he's just too tall. The ideal range for a male pro athlete in any major sport (except basketball and volleyball) in my opinion is maybe 6'0"-6'4"

I think both karlovic and isner are the same height . John isner looks 6"11 next to every player yet was listed originally only 6"9 a listing from his junior year at college. Isner also a lot longer legs than karlovic who is probably just a better proportioned giant guy. Strange John is half a foot taller than his 6"4 brothers according to an article I read also his parents are both 6" so no surprise he was tall but to go from barely 6"3 not far off his 18th to near 7 feet is
Impressive

spot on sak the fitness side of it lets them down in slams etc and they are not even playing long points most the time given their serves etc, Both Isner and Karlovic have won a fair number of titles it sure helps having huge serves enabling them to win free points, Ivo looks a solid 6'11 easily, ginat he would be 7ft in shoes.
The best tall players for me are Del Potro, Ciic and Raonic 6'6 and 6'5 those guys

@heightchecker34, Isner & Karlovic are simply too tall to win many titles. And they usually don't do well at the slams due to being best of five sets.
6'0 - 6'4 is ideal rang. Where movement isn't compromised, and you are still reasonably tall.
However, Raonic (6'5) and Del Potro (6'6) both have mastered there size and play well regularly.
Height helps mostly with serving. But returning is the problem.

Yeah you can't deny he looks a proper 6 ft 11 with Klitchko, a man considered a virtual giant himself by most, towering over virtually everybody. A strong 6 ft 5 is realy big, but it just shows how crazy tall this guy really is.

A very nimble player for someone his height, and without a doubt a legit 6'11 guy. When you tower over people that are in the 6'5-6'7 range, that means you must be around the 7ft range. And I'm pretty sure, John Isner is in the 6'10 range... surprised these guys haven't won more titles, especially with such powerful serves due to their size. Although, the running for someone that height is pretty difficult, can't imagine the pain in their knees to take that impact every day. Still believe for tennis, anywhere in the 6'1-6'4 range, is the perfect height to win championships.

Ivo was listed 6'10 most of his career until john isner updated his height from 6'9 to 6'10 which prompted Ivo to get remeasured He then discovered he was in fact 6'11
Interesting, didn't know that

Rob check out this, he's the short guy!! Click Here What would guess for the guy on the left and one on right? OK they have sneakers on but I'd guess guy on right as around 7'1 and one on right as 7'4.5? I've not looked to see if it says how tall they actually are!
[Editor Rob: the other guy looks a bit over 7ft, bigger guy I don't know.]
That is Sim Bhullar on the right there, 7'5". Him next to Shaq Click Here

Strange,he's listed at 208 on other sites,but yesterday with 187-8 Tsonga he looked very close to 6'11 definitely maybe 6'10.5 at worse.
Quite impressive how he makes Klitschko small.
What about Isner?Listings vary from 6'9 to 6'10 the latter claimed by himself
