Maria Sharapova is every inch the 6'2" she has been listed. Saw her up close at New Delhi and she easiy 8" taller than my 5'6". Sharapova towered over every person including all men in the news conference and the height difference between her and the other women was at times more than 1 foot.

Sharapova is by no means only 55 kgs, that is ridiculously underweight for a 6'2" girl and she cannot be the champion athlete she is by being so much undrweight. Sharapova is atleast 72 kgs if not more.
Silent d said on 31/Oct/12
55kg is light for someone of her stature. I'm 63kg at 178cm and people think i'm skinny but she doesn't look that skinny on the court. Still beautiful! 187cm.

I have never heard of those players anon. Are they old? 187cm.

The tallest female tennis player is Eva Hrdinova (191 cms & 82 kgs) followed by Akgul Amanmuradova (190 cms & 80 kgs). Sharapova at 187 cms & just 72 kgs is quite tiny compared to these 2 giantesses.
Silent d said on 14/Sep/12
Hope to meet her at the brisbane international wen she comes. 187cm is about right. She always towered over every tennis player. Is she the tallest female tennis player? I think she is.
Ace said on 10/Sep/12
Joe Joe, that shot of her in the flats next to Federer if anything proves that she is closer to 188 than 186. She is in flats (the lift you mention in the back seems minimal at best), compared to his sneakers.
anon said on 8/Sep/12
Sharapova is right up there with 90% of the mal etennis pros as far as height is concerned.
SAK said on 5/Sep/12
@joe joe, the first is a good pic for comparison. Thanks. But i disagree with you abiut the shoe thing, Federer is slightly getting more height frm his footwear than sharapovas v.flat shoes. I dont think she is standing as upright as Federer as well.
Sharapova: 187cm
Federer: 186/185cm
Roddick : 188cm
joe joe said on 4/Sep/12
not sure about the 6 2 listing for sharpova. I think 186 would be closer to the truth. probs 188 fresh out of bed. In this foto here she is wearing a slight heel but still is no taller than 186 federer or 188 roddick. Infact she looks shorter and seems about 184. it may seem she's in flats but they have a slight lift at the back

however in this pic she absolutely dominates rafa nadal who i think is around 184. we can't see their feet but i recon she has some party heels on here

I guess a lot of you guys haven't been anywhere near Russia, women of her height and build are very common, unlike most tall western women they are not afraid of heels, seeing women in heels towering over men is common, especially since Russian men aren't overly tall.
D19 said on 21/Aug/12
I am also a tall female, not quite her height but close. I grew over 6 inches in about 4 months. It is common in we very tall females to experience that. I also did the same type spurts of growth as she did and even added almost another inch in my 20s. We are not giants! We are tall, not some kind of freak. My children are tall, thank goodness. We in the developed nations are getting taller. Look at the Olympic athletes as an example of the changing heights, more and more common for tall and very tall.
Lovetallwomen said on 21/Aug/12
I am married to a 6'2 woman with 15% body fat who is beautiful--not a giant, did not take hormones or any other chemicals. She is Danish and Swedish with neither parent unusually tall. Sharapova's lineage is obviously northern European where it is not unusual to have tall women. Sorry to all the short guys who don't have the self esteem to date a tall woman!

Sharapova is a giant. Any woman over 180 cm should be considered as a giant. Any woman over 170 cm should be considered tall. Reason: average female height is 163 cm.
Anyway, Sharapova is taller than 97% of men + she wears high heels (that's a big mistake).

@cranberries: Agree with u that Ana Ivanovic is much better looking than either Sharapova or Kvitova but my question was amongst these 2 tall long legged girls, which one is more attractive (Ana doesnt qualify cos she is not in the same league rite now). Agree that in her playing gear Kvitova looks hideous but take a look at her pics with her hair loose and dressed differently, she is quite a looker.

@nona - does that question even need to be answered?
AG said on 29/Jan/12
She is definitely tall for a girl, but i think her claim of 6'3 is a little bit exaggerated. I haven't seen her in person so i can't have a clear statement about her height, but as i have seen all her pictures till now i can say that she is between 6'0 - 6'0.5 range. Sometimes she wears heels like 3 to 4 inches with them she should have been 6'5 - 6'6 if she was really 6'2. The height of 6'2 is a giant for a woman and she doesn't look like a giant, she is just a tall girl that's all.

She was on the David Letterman show and she said as quoted "I am 6'3 without shoes" but more recently when she was on the Ellen Degeneres show she said that she was 6'2. I think she is over 6'3+ but doesn't want to sound too tall so now she says only 6'2.

-------------------------------------------
Indeed it is quite suspicious, you would have expected ANY woman between 13-15 years old to grow MAX 5'9, 5'9 and change (if she really was 5'3" around that age). I don't know how tall her mom is/was but I've read her dad is no taller than 6'0", thus her 6'2ish height shouldn't be due to genetics, that is BS. I say she took HGH and other kinds of weird substances to get that tall.

At the Australian Open Ana Ivanovic is listed at 186 cms whereas Petra Kvitove is listed at 182 cms. However when they shook hands at the net after Kvitova demolished Ivanovic, it appeared that Kvitova was about 2 cms taller than Ivanovic. Does that mean that Kvitova is 188 cms (which I doubt) or Ivanovic is 180 cms (which is more likely). Will put Ana Ivanovic at 180 cms and 154 lbs and Petra Kvitova at 182 cms & 165 lbs

@silent d:
i belive Federer is 6 ft 1 in/185 cm while Nadal 6 ft 0.5 in/184 cm.
I think athletes in the most of the cases are not measured because i saw diffrent athletes who were shorter or taller (rarely) than their mark. I gave you an example: in BB diffrent player (
Michael Jordan, Charles Barkeley...) are shorter than their mark. The height for tennis isn't so important so i think during the medical visit, doctors simply ask them. I think Maria is in the 186-7 cm range (personally i'd say 6 ft 1.5 in/187 cm)...
Silent d said on 12/Jan/12
I think athletes are measured. Wouldn't they? Were do they get their ridiculous claims? Federer is definitely taller than nadal who is the same height. Weird. If she was 180cm, would she claim 6 foot 2? That is outrageous, people will be laughing at her. She is definitely taller than ana ivanovic whos is at least 182cm. 187cm for sharapova. She has bad posture because she is freakishly tall. Still hot though. I grew 38cm in 8 years and might still be growing. Hopefully I can reach the six foot mark but i think my growing days are over. I'm 178cm now. Sharapova is 187cm.
maio said on 8/Jan/12
Maria has the same height as Roger Federer. I met Federer in Rome in 2009 and he looked a to me a strong 6 ft 1 in/185 cm, max 186 cm. Maria is not over 187 cm. Ana is 2 in/5 cm shorter than Maria, so 5 ft 11.75 in/182 cm (her first mark) abd Daniela is 3-4 shorter so 179 cm max is right for her.
I think tennis-players are never measured, they simply claims an height like for basketball, swimming, boxe...
Arhem said on 8/Jan/12
Next to mamun she looks like a solid 187(if you want to see a solid 188 next to mamun look for Ryan Reynolds height) BUT she is wearing 5-10 cm heels so i'g give her 180-184 tops Djokovic is 188 and looks always taller 184 is right
She went from 160 cm in 2001 to 175 in 2002 15 cm that's just ridiculous, because even a 1 year old baby grows less than 10 cm year being the greatest grow time for any human.
After that she grew anothe 13 cm being 18 yo., if all of this was real she'd have a monster face due to gigantism. Growth hormone would have destroyed all her facial features. I know it because i was 171 when i was 14 now i am 188 and had a lot of trouble due to this. face hair etc. just because i grew 17 cm, doctor alwys told me that from 14 yo grow usually 10 cm nothing more if you grow more you could have problems.
I donpt like her she has an strange face and doesn't look to feminine. i'd prefer shorter girls
I'm a monster myself but that doesn't quit me the right to have an opinion does it?
Silent d said on 7/Jan/12
Daniela hantuchova is not 178cm. The female commentator said she might have the longest legs in female tennis. I thought sharapova had the longest legs. Daniela is taller than kaia kanepi who is 180cm. She could be 6 foot but more likely 182cm. I believe maria sharapova is 188cm. Weird when she stands next to 6 foot 1 guys she looks about the same height. Like george clooney and 180cm stacey keibler. They are similar in height and she is taller than him.

JIm said on 2/Dec/11
ran into her yesterday at a store in LA and my buddies recognized her. i checked to see if i was taller. for the record, i am 6ft 1.5 (just under 6.2) and wore Sketchers shape ups that moment, adding height (6'6 people appear almost at same height if they wear flat shoes). She wore strongly padded workout sneakers that add height as well. i stand about 6"4.5 with sketchers, and had about 1/2 or 3/4 inch (if that) on her, making her 6"3.5 , or just under.
noticeable: the tallest girl in the mall, and her butt is as high were other womens chest would be. so i would substantiate her height of 6, 2" easily, nothing under 6'1 (no way), so 6'1.5 to 6'2 seems very very right. small head, wide shoulders (thought a volleyball player at first), sort of like a cheetah - in human form, if you know what i mean. also has the seriousness and focus of an athlete. nice, but well, focused. looks typical scandinavian, german, russian.... not a model by any rate - more like college girl / varsity team blond american player looks - just a bit older.

@Paco you're totally right, and @Rusty, in one of the photos of the link provided by @Paco you can see her whole body and tell she's not by any means wearing those "monstruos heels" you mentioned, she's most certainly wearing flats or some shoe near to that. And in any case, Uma would be wearing high heels, too, which would make the difference of shoe length irrelevant. Just cope with it, she's 6'2''.

Andy Roddick made her look barely 6'0, 6'2 is a joke Rob, if she's 6'2 then Roddick is 6'4.
6'0.5 is closer for her, with the same footwear (for sure) she is not even a mm taller than 6'0.5 Venus Williams:

Vegas, I saw the video you posted but at the 3:45 mark where you compared Sharapova to Federer there was a few feet between them.... they were not standing side by side and Maria was right in front of the camera while Federer was further away from the camera. The only way you can accurately make a height comparison between two people is if they are side by side.
Mr. R said on 10/Sep/11
Several years ago I was watching a match, and the commentators noted that Maria said 6-2, but that she had really gron closer to 6-3. They said she wants to play down her height.
Vegas said on 9/Sep/11
Wallace says on 5/Sep/11
Vegas argument the next day that she isn't standing fully straight does not hold true because one of her legs is straight while the other is bent.

so you missed the video i posted 21/Jul/11, that has roddick and federer

The New York Times in 2005 lists her at 6ft (she was 18yo at the time).

He has BIG heels on in Donik video and still barely taller than Roddick in flats. Both listed at 6'2. Hmmm...

Isn't Roddick listed at 6ft2? He easily has 2 inches on Sharapova in one of the pictures below... I don't buy her at 6ft2 at all... probably more like 5ft11.5 - 6ft (no shoes)

SAK said on 26/Aug/11
The video with Djokovic/Sharapova is very telling. Because Djokkovic gets listed as 187cm/6ft1.5 and Sharapova as 188cm/6ft2. But here Sharapova is wearing not too high heels and she doesn't looks that much taller then Djokovic. So I would suspect Djokovic is in fact 187cm but Sharapova is 186cm/6ft1 @ her lowest point maybe nearer 187cm @ midday.

@Tall Girl: Sharapova has wide shoulders not necessarily broad. Ur rite abt her being abt 6'2" & I wud put her at close to 165 lbs.
@Doink: All the women at the ESPY's were in very high heels & most of them were very tall women. Sharapova was in abt 5" heels and that wud have taken her to 6'7". Lindsey Vonn was abt 6'3" in her heels and looked huge (abt 175 lbs) with her recent weight gain

I'm watching the ESPY's right now, she is presenting with Amare Stodemire. Standing next to him, she looks about 3 inces shorter than him, he's 6'10". Accounting for 5 inch heels, that puts her right at about 6'2"
Rusty said on 6/Jul/11
Who has validated Kvitova at 6 feet (looks 5'11"ish)? I don't see much more than an inch between them in Vegas' link. You have to take posture into account, obviously, and Petra is clearly slouching while Maria is straight as an arrow. This matters.

Sharapova is clearly 2" taller than Kvitova who is 6'0". You can also notice that Sharapova looks just as broad and has legs as thick as Kvitova. Since Kvitova is listed at 154 lbs there is no way Sharapova can be only 130 lbs as listed

She's probably a true 6'2" with no exaggeration where as most people tend to exaggerate. I saw her in a photo shoot with NFL quarterback Matt Stafford and with heels, she towered over him. However, there's no way she's 130 lbs. 6'2", 130 would make her thinner than pretty much all the supermodels.

Maria Sharapova - 6'2" & 165 lbs, Sabine Liciki - 5'11" & 160 lbs, Petra Kvitova - 6'0" & 165 lbs, Victoria Azarenka - 5'11" & 143 lbs. Nice line up of 4 tall, well built blondes in the Wimbledon semi finals. Liciki by far is the most powerful of the 4 girls and she has legs like tree trunks.

Seriously calm down. Firstly, I can't be a "fanboy" because I'm not a boy! Secondly, if I was a "fanboy" I would insist that Maria is 188cm which I don't. So perhaps get your facts right before you act like a big tough guy over the internet.
The whole point of this site is to debate the height of celebrities, so it's only logical IMO that if you make a claim of someone being shorter/taller than somebody that you post a link. I don't see why posters expect you to google something to prove something that they've said. You make a post, you back it up!
BTW Maria said in an interview today at Wimbledon that she is the same height now as in 2004, despite being listed 2" taller. Take that for what it's worth :)
Rusty said on 28/Jun/11
@Paco Like I said before she wears monstrous heels to events, I'd be willing to bet she has much larger heels than Uma. A true 6'1" or 6'2" woman wouldn't need those stilts to stand out.

Maria Sharapova (6'2") v/s Dominika Cibulkova (5'2') in the Wimbledon quarter finals should give us some good comparison pics.

Sharapova is listed at 6'2" & 130 lbs on the WTA website. From what I read on her height here most people say she is shorter than 6'2". Also from what is seen of her on court she looks much heavier than 130 lbs. Maybe she was 130 lbs couple of years ago but now she has bulked up a lot and the proof is in her arms and legs which are a lot bigger and which give some bulk to her wide shoulders. I will put her at 6'1" & 160 lba.

This is one of the worst listings on this site, IMO. There is plenty of proof that she is less than 6'1" actually. She looked the same as 6 foot McGahee. If she was 188 cm or even 185 cm she wouldn't need to wear 5 inch heels to stand out at events. Pls fix, Rob.
Ron said on 24/Jun/11
Sharapova never stands straight when meeting Djokovic while Djokovic does the opposite, standing straight! He does not want to look almost as tall as Sharapova
I'm sure Sharapova can not be shorter than 186cm
To tell you again! Safina's coach told me Safina is definately 186cm without shoes! So you can easily conclude how tall Sharapova is! no shorter than 186cm
187cm is the most accurate! and Djokovic is 188cm!
It is impossible Sharapova is clearly shorter than Djokovic both in flats, just a bit shorter

Hs, just google it. There are hundreds of pictures to back it up. The actual instance I was referring too was on tv during the French open. She stopped and chatted to him for a second and was definitely shorter than him. I'd say she's 185ish and ivanovic is 6' flat - she was the same height as her ex bf. You don't need links every 5 minutes. Use google.

even thought Sharapova has gained some weight and is now about 150 lbs, she is still very thin considering her 6'2" height. What surprises me though is the width of her shoulders. She has very wide shoulders but not broad or muscular. Just imagine if she had developed shoulder muscles like Serena, she would look huge with such wide muscular shoulders

Errr... I suggest "Leung" gives one rational reason why the possibilty of her being 5-11 (or 5'11" and a half, as I have said many times) should be "ignored" given that she looks smaller than Venus Williams who is 6'1", and also looks about the same height as Dinara Safina who is about 5-11, or, at most, 6'. May I also suggest he should logically, RATIONALLY address the pictures I posted? I think not, that would be too much for him. That would require him to step out of his giant-amazon-fantasies. Let's just ignore each and every person who clings to reality. What a dork, honestly.

Think we should get over Sharapova and concenterate on the younger lot of players who give Sharapova arun for her mony in the height & looks department. Take for example the 17 yr old Coco Vandeweghe of the USA who is 6'1" & 160lbs or the 16 yr old Kristina Mladenevic of France who is 6'0" & 130 lbs. Coco could easily give the skinny Sharapova a ride on her broad shoulders

"Wrong miser, those 5in heels would have only given her 3ih at most. Read the heel height truth article here."
I have read that article, it's not quite right. Some kinds of heels can give women 4 inches... 5 is exaggeration, but the fact that Sharapova said they were "5 inches" shows that she is very aware that her shoes give her alot of height.
"So I think you will find she is 6'2."
6'2" for her is pure fantasy.

"Those weren't "monster heels" miser, they look to be around 2-3 inches. "

"And the notion that she is 5`11 barefoot is utterly insane. She towered legit 6`0 Uma Thurman, and so many others."
She towered over "legit" 6'0" Uma Thurman in these same 5-inch-heels, yeah... ;-) Sharapova is smaller than Venus Williams who is about 6'1". Maximum height for Sharapova is 6' even... 5'11" or 5'11" and a half more likely. Here is a rare picture of her without her monster-heels:

I've stood next to her at my tennis club multiple times while inline for food. I'm 6'2" and she's at least as tall as me and I'm guessing an inch or so taller. My guess is closer to 6'3".
Pete said on 27/Jun/09
I'm 6'2 in bare feet/6'3 in standard shoes (I had my height measured recently for a BMI survey). Last year at Montreal when she was heading to the practice courts, I was an inch taller than her. I think that she is 6'1 in bare feet and 6'2 in tennis shoes. Of course a person's official height is how tall they are in bare feet without the aid of shoes, so she is 6'1.
On an unrelated note Ivanovic who claims she is 6'1 is no taller than 5'11. Petrova and Safina on the other hand are probably slightly taller than they say they are. Petrova is probably 5'11 and Safina 6'0.

@UN Owen: my math that gives me the impression that Sharapova is under 6'2" is as follows. Matt Stafford measured at 6'2". Sharapova looks about and inch or two taller than Stafford. Sharapova has a footwear advantage of about three inches. Best case scenario is 2 in. advantage - 3 in. footwear = -1 inches. 6 foot 1 inch.

In the Matt Stafford vid Sharapova heels looked to give her about 5 inches or more in height. Taking Stafford's boots giving him about 2 inches and his much more relaxed posture I would put Sharapova at about 6 foot 1.
Anonymous said on 21/May/09
she looks at least 6'2, probably taller. she may be shorter than venus though who is probably 6'3 if she stands up straight. I don't think Venus wants to be seen as a freak so she either lies about her height or doesn't stand up straight when measured. It seems like really tall girls make their height a little shorter than it is. I mean how many tall girls have you seen that claim 5'10 when you know they are around 6'+.
Ace said on 16/May/09
Wow, Maria really was taller than him. If he is a legit 6`3 (which he looks to be), then she is no shorter than 6`2.

LOL -- Speak for yourself! Did you see the look on Stafford's face when Maria reached down to tie his boots?
Wow, she positively towered over the 6-3 quarterback. I think he'd need to stand on tiptoes if he wanted to use her shoulder as a chin rest. She really seems to enjoy being taller than everyone else in the room. Those monster shoes made her about 6-8... she must learn to duck when she goes through doorways.

slightly over 6' at best. and heels do give a lot of height depending on the shoe

Yeah Sharapova is not a turn on cos she is too thin at that height, maybe just abt 155 lbs. Compare that to the supremely athletic Candace Parker, the 6'4", 175 lbs WNBA star and you will realise what Im talking about.

Maria looks to be wearing abt 3" heels in that video which takes her to an imposing 6'5", but still too skinny for my liking. One thing which is very clear in that video is that she seems to be smitten by Stafford and is all over him, but he just does not notice her.

Doink, heels don't give 5.5 inches. Or 4.5 inches. Her heels look like 2 1/2 or 3 inches maximum.
Doink said on 29/Apr/09
Click HereHere is the video, they are supposed to post additional footage later. Not much you can tell for sure given the footwear (Stafford puts on boots that give him at *least* two inches) and I'd estimate Maria's heels at 5.5 in for a height gain of about 4.5 inches (they have a bit of a platform). By my math, she looks a strong 6-2 here.
Doink said on 25/Apr/09
Maria will be on ESPN's E:60 this week in a segment where she "makes over" Georgia college QB (and now Detroit Lions QB) Matthew Stafford. He was measured at the NFL combine at 6'2 1/4". Should be a pretty good gauge of things.

Wow!! she's really tall for woman, and i thought Gisele Bundchen (5'11) is the most tall woman, but Maria had same heights with Ashton Kutcher!!!...
yoyo said on 22/Apr/09
at 22 now i believe she can't be growing anymore. she does look near 6ft2 but not a strong 6ft2 i guess. like 186~187 to me.
Maribel said on 5/Apr/09
She doesn't really look 6-2, more like 1m83 perhaps. I heard the only way you could reduce your height is by takin estrogens, but not so sure and I also heard that girls grow six feet or over by takin anabolic steriods. I heard a while back that Sharapova took steriods.

6'3" 172 lbs. here
Anonymous said on 31/Mar/09
There is a Czech tennis player called Eva Hrdinova, who is 6'3" & 181 lbs. She is taller than Sharapova and is so well built that Sharapova at just 160 lbs wud get blown away by this girl

Check out the award winners of the WTA tour. We have Dinara Safina, Liezel Huber & Ana Ivanovic at 6 ft, Elena Dementieva at 5'11", Caroline Wozniacki at 5'9". There is a pic of them together and all of them look so tall and fit.
diana said on 29/Mar/09
lol i agree completely with UN owen i don't care about models
but regular people don't look too kindly on tall girls and a lot of girls moreso hate being tall for some reason even though i think its really cool to be taller than people
but in heels she is quite a bit taller than josh duhamel who on this site is 6'3.5 so she HAS to be 6'2. girls don't round up with their height ever and she has said she doesn't like her height so i don't really see how she is shorter than 6'2.
Yasi said on 28/Mar/09
I knew from some sources that she is about 6.2"
malo said on 25/Mar/09
she is indeed 6'2", I met her recently she was wearing flats and we are same height and i am pretty sure I'm 6'2"
Alex said on 3/Mar/09
I'd like to see a picture of Maria with 5'11.5-6'0 Famke Janssen.
R said on 3/Mar/09
@LOL
Everyone keeps mentioning heels, but 10cm would not give her 10cm (4in) extra in height, it would be closer to 7.5cm (3in) ish, which would mean she is indeed 6'2". I seriously don't think she is anything but that height or at the very least 6'1".
Rx said on 2/Mar/09
I would wager money that, in this case, the "secondary" growth spurt was decidedly not of a normal course; rather, due to the introduction of exogenous growth hormone. It's a common abuse amongst adolescent athletes (with means) that is rarely, if ever, discussed in the mainstream media - primarily due to ignorance of its frequency. Parents/trainers doctor-shop for a physician who is willing to make a subjective diagnosis, contrary to ethical practice, of "idiopathic short stature" and, thus, offer a course of growth hormone replacement therapy to "attenuate primary idiopathy and associated symptom clusters."
aram x said on 28/Feb/09
It's also worth noting that she's got very square (although I am not sure about broad) shoulders. Which for some reason makes her appear taller.
aram x said on 28/Feb/09
anyways 6ft plus is really tall for a girl...
ANON said on 26/Feb/09
This beauty is just under 6' 1" that's her correct height,believe me I should know!
LOL said on 18/Feb/09
I'm 6'4" (1.93 meters)and i meet with her once. with 10 cm heels she is taller than me for a inch. she not 6'2". 6'1" exactly no more no less
miser said on 17/Feb/09
I think primarily in centimeters/meters, I'm not american/british. Sharapova is under 185cm, she's between 180cm and 183cm. Venus is about 185cm. Ivanović probably 177cm to 180cm.
kampioen said on 16/Feb/09
The thing is, I think, with all those confusing heights, that a lot of people take 6 ft as being 180 cm. It has to be 183 cm. So I think it's better to measure in meters and cm, for there is no confusion about that.
A view examples:
Maria Sharapova: 185 cm (so 6 ft 1!)
Elle MacPherson: 180 or 181 cm (so 5 ft 11, or 5 ft 11,5; she is the same height or even a cm smaller than Uma Thurman)
Ana Ivanovic: 180 or 181cm (so 5 ft 11 or 5 ft 11,5)
lullemans said on 11/Feb/09
Sorry for my previous comment. Yes, I was pretty confused indeed. I only watched the last part of the video after posting my first comment. So I apologize for that, just forget what I said, ok?=)
miser said on 11/Feb/09
jesus, you're pretty confused there lullemans... ;-)
Leterman is taller than sharapova barefoot. Watch the final part of that video when they greet each other by the net.
lullemans said on 10/Feb/09
According to the above, Sharapova is 188cm and David Letterman is 187 cm, but take a look at this video:
Click HerePause it at 0:20 and watch. If David Letterman really is 187 cm, then Sharapova should be a giant monster, standing above 200 cm. That doesn't make sense, does it? I know Letterman is standing on a platform, and Sharapova is wearing heels, but how much of a difference could that make? Is the platform Letterman is standing on about 30 cm high? And do the heels she is wearing make her look 10 cm taller? I'm just guessing, but if we take those numbers and add them to their heights, then Sharapova should be 198 cm and Letterman 217 cm, a difference of 19 cm, and it doesn't look as though Letterman is 19 cm higher than Sharapova on that video.
If you imagine away the platform and the heels, then Sharapova should still be about 20 cm taller than Letterman. Would it make any sense if Sharapova was 20 cm taller than Letterman, making her 208 cm tall, or would it make more sense if Sharapova is 188 cm and Letterman is 20 cm shorter, making him 167 cm tall?
Felix said on 9/Feb/09
Land8: It's pretty friggin obvious that Sharapova's wearing heels in that picture. That's the only way she'd be that MUCH taller than Fed.
Mc79 said on 5/Feb/09
She looked the same height as Letterman serving those balls. I'm 6-2 on a good day; I'm sure she's somewhere around my height (but without my size 13's:)
Land8 said on 2/Feb/09
I saw her at the Rogers Cup, and I'd say she is 6 foot 1
She is definetely not taller than 6 foot 2 !
Yes she is tall for a woman but she is not VERY tall
Sometimes Maria looks smaller :
In this pic, she looks smaller than Tara Moss (6ft1)
Click HereIn other pics, she looks like a giant !
She was only 17 years old on this pic (after winning Wimbledon) and she towers over Federer (6ft1) !

Doug, if the heights are legit than why arnt the weights so?? its ridiculous the weights at which some of these girls are listed. For example Sharapova at 130lbs, Serene Williams at 143lbs, Nadia petrova at 150lbs etc
miser said on 30/Jan/09
oh sure. if you were really 6-2 everybody'd guess 6-4 or more for you ;-), people tend to exaggerate when they see something out of the ordinary.
Anonymous said on 30/Jan/09
DOWNGRADE TO 6'0-6'1 -.-
She's never ever over 1,86m/ 6'1.25
Jamie! said on 29/Jan/09
I am a 6' 2'' female and no one ever thinks I am as tall as I am. They always guess about 6'.
J.J. said on 27/Jan/09
this is giant status cos thats an equivalent for a 6'7" man which is 2 metres plus and any man who is 2 metres plus is a giant and any woman who is 1.88metres is also a giant cos women hardly reach these heights.
Anonymous3 said on 25/Jan/09
i don't see 6'2, 6feet best.
Eagle eye said on 23/Jan/09
Hey Rob, introducing Kristina Mladenovic. She's a 15 yr old French tennis player and is currently 6 feet 1. Last year she was listed as 6 feet. She's a promising player as well. Could be a good addition for this site.
Doug said on 20/Jan/09
Note also that for tennis players if they are listed at a certain height you'd better believe they are every inch that height as they are legit barefoot measurments taken by the LTA. This is an official height which she also claims, amd more than likely would want to downgrade it. 6'2" for a woman is the equivalent of a 6'6"-6'7" guy, which is borderline "giant" so why would she claim it if it wasn't true?
Doug said on 20/Jan/09
Easily 6'2". Google search sharapova on regis and kelly. She had nearly a foot on Regis, easily 6'2" barefoot and was around 6'4" in two inch heels. Looked every inch of it.
Anonymous3 said on 16/Jan/09
THERE IS NO WAY SHARAPOVA IS 6'2, 6'2 is a joke, 6'3 is a dream and 6'4 if they ever list her at that is WISHFUL THINKING, she never even looked legit 6'2 tall. I have seen a friend (male) who is a strong 6'2 legit and he looks very tall already even for a guy. He was beside this 6'4 classmate of mine and the difference was minimal. Maybe around 1.5inches if both stood straighter. Sharapova never looked 6'2 in any photos even with her heels. She has to wear platforms to even come close. 184cm tops. Likely more 6feet even or even less. I can't believe they list Dinara Safina as 6'2 when she is obviously listed at 5'11/180cm most places. Proves how the height is so inflated. Seriously you don't see many 5'11-6'0 women, let alone above that. Women are genetically programmed to be shorter than men. Since most men are under 6feet or around it, most women are under 6 feet for sure. It's nature. Anything out of the normal range 5'-6' max for women maybe. and 5'5-6'5 for guys. Although there will be people who will surpass the range + or - by 2 inches or so.
Alex said on 9/Jan/09
A 6'10 male would be equal to a 6'4-6'5 woman which is giant status for their genders. 5'10 and up for a woman actually would be considered very tall by most.
Anonymous3 said on 8/Jan/09
Miser, I think she can be 6'2 with lifts lol. I think she is somewhere between 183-186cm. She can't be any taller. 6'2 would look borderline freakish/freakish, its almost 190cm, 5'11 and up is very tall, 6'3 and up woman are true giantesses I think someone stated. 6'6 and up is very tall for men, 6'10 and up are true giants for men.
anonymoose said on 6/Jan/09
yes Rob downgrade her to 6"1 for now
Alex said on 5/Jan/09
I could buy Maria at 6'1, anything under that I'd have to see her buy a height chart or something.
Andy van Karlsen said on 3/Jan/09
Downgrade to 6'0-6'1 pls

enough, rob has made it clear that we are not supposed to be nasty in anyway shape or form. btw, i have never called you a name.
anonymous said on 2/Jan/09
I only post under anonymous miser, rob would know since he can check IP addresses. Plus, how am i being vindictive. For the past couple months, you have been showing poor evidence to say that sharapova is under 6`1, and you attack all others who disagree with you by either going on a rant, suggesting medication to others (telling U.N. Owen to take "haloperidol", seriously grow up). Just move on already, or tell people something they haven't heard 50 times.
