Canson, I’d put him on that. Clearly taller than Cilic and Zverev (not a full 6ft6, IMO)

There is no way him and Alex Zverev are the same height, Juan is taller than every photo I posted on his page...he also looks too similar to Kevin Anderson in this photo while Alex is struggling to look much if at all over 6ft5 with him (see his page)
Click Here
Click Here clearly losing more than an inch here, better posture and he'd be roughly the same
He's gotta be a strong 6ft6 at least and 6ft6½ wouldn't surprise me either. He makes Andy Murray look average!

Rob, any chance of a slight boost?
Most are in agreement that Juan is a little over 6ft6....while Zverev could very well be a little under 6ft6

Agree with Recapa and Rampage. Could qualify as a guy similar to Warheim or Carmelo Anthony. May be 1/4” or 1/8” under listed like Christian said but he surely isn’t under this mark. Easily edges out a guy Anthony Joshua or Rick Fox or even Bill Deblasio’s size

He's definitely a solid 6ft6, probably approaching 6ft7. He towers over players like Nadal and Federer and is usually noticeably taller than other players who are listed the same height,

Indeed,I read that despite his height he hit puberty quite late and was only 183 at the age of 15,so it's very possible he gained height from 18 to 20.He seems a legit enough 6'6.Isner has a chance of being 6'9.5"

@Johnson
It would be strange if he turns only 197,if anything he could look every bit of 6'6,well maybe he dips to 197,5 after a game?Not impossible.Ultimately most also agreed that Murray was able to push 188-9 before he claimed 187,5.

Juan Martin del Potro is in the 18th place of tallest tennis player in the world. I found a clip of the youngest and tallest player Reilly Opelka maybe same height as Ivo Karlovic. Interesting that he was atually measure 83 inches 210.8cm with tennis footwear last year. The measurement may affect the perception by others of all players height was at least listed with 3cm thick shoes.

According to Argentine newspapers, Delpo is about 2m 01 cm or 6'7"...but he claims less out of "vanity".....hahaha and the shorter players, like Kei Nishikori who claims to be 5'10" (1m 78 cm) is nowhere that tall...same with Ferrer...
Who knows why everybody wants to be different...??

I'm not sure he can look a 2.01 6'7 but I can see him measuring 6'6.5 at times. For me 6'6.25 would be the fairer listing as he looks a bit over 6'6 more often than he looks 6'6 flat in my eyes.

With Murray and Federer I admit that he doesn't look over 6'6 flat, but in a lot of the comparisons he can really look 199 range. Maybe his lowest is 6'6 on the nose after a long match.

Click Here Click Here With 6'11 Karlovic holds his own pretty well, can't see 5 inches. 6'6.25 overall is fair I think, he can look 6'6.5 a lot but with Federer can look 6'6 flat, 6'6.25 is in between and not impossible he measures a little above the mark.

Rob do you think 6'6.25 might be fairer and give him a more solid 6'6 listing? I know you're unlikely to give it but he can really look it, it's the average guess here too after 37 votes. With Raonic I see more than 2cm, I think Raonic at 6'4.75 and Portro at 6'6.25 would be more accurate Click Here Click Here

Editor Rob I think he's a solid enough 6ft 6 guy, I can see how at times 1/4 inch over looks likely as well. I don't know how much variation in tennis sneaker heights there will be, sometimes there may be fraction differences.

Del Potro came into the tennis club I play at to prepare for a Davis Cup tie. He was far taller and bigger than I thought he'd be, and he had to stoop under all of the doorways. I'm 5'9" and I barely came up to his shoulder. My 6'5" mate said he was a good bit taller than him even. The guy has massive hands and feet too. I'd say he was 6'7" at least - he might have grown an inch since he was last measured properly.

Saw him in person but just in passing. My 186/187 friend was about where Andy would measure up with just below the eyebrow. He was a couple of inches taller than me so listing is decent because I'm a solid 6"4. Though that makes me think raonic maybe shorter.

6-6 is too low for del Potro, obviously. He seems to be 6-6,5 to 6-7: Click Here

There is clearly more than 4" between the two. John Isner was listed at 6-9 and was measured
at 6-10. Ivo Karlovic was listed at 6-10 and was measurded at 6-11. There are many wrong listings.

Yeah, 6'6 on the dot. He towers over most of the players, including legit 6'1-6'2 guys. I think he has past his peak in terms of achievements on the court (2009 US Open). Nonetheless, an exciting tennis player with a lot of grit and passion. There are a lot of tall players these days, usually in the 6'3-6'6 range, it's quite interesting, perhaps due to nutrition and exercise. The Tower of Tandil still stands!

Though in fairness in most shots with Murray he looks a flat 6'6, that is if Murray really is 187.5, which I think is probably his legit low. Potro might be a guy who wakes up nearer 6 ft 7 though.
