If Andre is 5'10 3/4 It would jsut be rounded to a flat 5;11-180cm, 179-180.

tanya says on 11/Nov/09
@runt - yah but Brooke Shields told him to wear lifts so that she could wear high heels.

Jase says on 10/Nov/09
Again,
180cm os 511.you're never going to list someone as 180.3cm so uf you're rounding, 190cm=5'11 (which agassie looked every bit of standing next to Courier in his early days and federe)

runt says on 4/Nov/09
In his new book where he admits to doing crystal, he also admits that Brooke Sheilds told him to make sure he wore lifts for the wedding...

Anon says on 15/Oct/09
His height is really variable, which I attribute to the back problems. Sometimes he looks the same height as Steffi, sometimes he looks taller. But I've seen him stand next to 6'1" guys enough times to see that 5'10 3/4" is accurate. I remember thinking when Andre handed Federer the French Open trophy that Agassi looked very tall, and he was just wearing flat dress shoes compared to Federer's tennis shoes (which are low to the ground, actually, but probably not as low as dress shoes).

Kull says on 14/Oct/09
I saw him at a charity event in Memphis. He's five foot ten in shoes. Weighs about 180.

James S. says on 28/Aug/09
He's always looked 5'10 to me. This is about correct yes!

Rick says on 3/Jul/09
No, just a former D1 tennis player, certified professional and huge tennis fan. And been to many events. But, like you said, we are not going to change each other's mind. It is all in fun. Just do me a favor and google Agassi with guys like Rios, Chang and Hewitt (5'9, 5'8 and 5'10, respectively). Agassi is noticeably taller than all of them. And then do the same with the guys I already suggested (Sampras, Federer, Courier). Let me know what you think. Take care.

Ironghost says on 30/Jun/09
Right, Rick. You've seen him in person with Sampras and Federer. And up-close, too, I'm sure (or else it's not very telling). Why not mention that in your first post, then? Sounds like you're just now making it up to give your claim some weight.

And, contrary to what you think, I have not changed my tune. In my original post, I wrote this : "I doubt he is *much more* than 5'9" - clearly making allowances for his being a bit taller. 5'10 would be the absolute maximum in my estimation.

Anyway, I won't be debating this with you any further. I can't convince you, obviously, and you can't convince me. So if you wan't to have the last word, you're welcome to it.

Rick says on 25/Jun/09
No one is laughing. Take a look at the photographic evidence with Sampras (6'1) and Federer (6'1 plus). I sure don't see 3-4 full inches. Not even close. And it is interesting that you go from 5'9 (your original post) to now concluding bewteen 5'9.5 and 5'10. Which is it? I have seen him in person with his aforementioned rivals. The bottom line is that the guy is much closer to 5'11 than 5'10.

Ironghost says on 17/Jun/09
You can laugh all you want about my "Leno scenario", Rick (and FYI, the Tonight Show was still hosted by Johnny Carson at the time I'm referring to, not Leno), but it's going to take more than snide and dismissive remarks to change my mind. The only film or photographic evidence I will accept as trustworthy for Agassi are those taken on the tennis court either during or immediately before/after one of his games, because in such pictures we can be confident the ground is level and no one is wearing lifts. Most of those pictures show a man smaller than his alleged 5'10 3/4. Those with his wife (tennis star Steffi Graf, who is consistently listed at 5'9) show that he is only marginally taller than her. That would place him somewhere between 5'9 1/2 and 5'10. And of course you have to take it on faith that Graf is really not a hair shorter than 5'9. I don't necessarily have that kind of faith. Some sports federations routinely "upgrade" heights to make their athletes seem even more impressive than they naturally are. Perharps it's the case with the ATP (case in point: Michael Chang, listed at 5'9, who confirms he's exactly that tall... with his shoes on!)

Rick says on 7/Jun/09
5'9 is ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Did anyone watch him hand Federer the trophy today? This listed height is exactly right. And this whole Leno scenario is equally laughable. I saw Andre on Leno late in his career. Andre looked taller.

Ironghost says on 7/Jun/09
The height listed here for Agassi is just preposterous. I remember his first appearance on The Tonight Show when he was 17 and just starting to break onto the tennis scene. He was asked about his height and stated he was 5'7, adding he expected he still had "one or two more inches left in him (in growth potential)". From that point on, I've followed his carreer rather closely and have not witnessed any major increase in his height. I'm not even sure he got the two full inches he had hoped to gain. So I doubt he is much more than 5'9. In any case, a tremendous player in his day...

John says on 16/May/09
I saw him in London, and I was definitely taller than him. I'm 5'10.

anon says on 21/Apr/09
Don't forget that Agassi has vertebral disc problems, so he might have lost height or it might mean that he shrinks a lot more from his morning height. Regardless, he was one of the shorter tennis players which makes his achievements and his ability to punish players much bigger than him more remarkable. He also boasts a 315 lb bench.

dani says on 8/Mar/09
He's 5"11(180cm0. People can't make judgements based on the above picture. Andre is slouching on this picture.

Trent says on 20/Jan/09
Never taller than 5'10 max

mclover says on 17/Jan/09
glen, was this guy nice?? Ive heard a lot of disappointing stories about him.

Jase says on 29/Nov/08
Agassi definitly looked a legit 5'11 next to federer in the us open photo , also look up the french open 1991 final against courier on youtube, he's not far off couriers height. also, 180cm=5'11 . i mean, you dont list mm, so its impossible to be exactly 5'11 on this site. many might not even count the extra.34cm when saying they are 180cm

dural says on 28/Jun/08
Steve012 - 5'10.75in is 179.705cm. close enough to 180cm. 5'11 is 180.34cm.
he looks barely 2in taller then his 5'9" wife Steffi Graf. 5'10.75in could be his early morning height.

rick says on 25/Jun/08
The post below (Mike I believe) is spot on. Tennis sneaks are low to the ground to aid against turning an ankle. Agassi's build is awkward and can give a smaller appearance. But look at him in tennis shoes with Sampras and Federer. Then, in every day footwear up against Armstrong. He is just about 5'11.

leonyhli says on 4/Jun/08
i believe he is 180cm first thing in the morning and 178cm b4 bed. tall people can shink up to 3cm by night because I see myself shinking 1.25 cm by night. I am 164.2cm in the morning and 162.8cm at night so I guess I am really 163.5cm at 5ft4.25. I can also see why Michael J Fox is listed as 164cm for the same reason. Thus Agassi in reality is 179cm tall (by noon) if he wear thick heel tennis shoe (no more than 3cm and shinking (.30cm) when pressing on it (2.7cm)) he can look like 180cm at 5ft11 when competing with other players who are also 180cm.

Ali says on 2/Jun/08
I think Agassi is 176-178 cm. So 5-10 is accurate. He
definitely is not 180 cm.

Sampras was always clearly 2+ inches taller than Agassi. But
Sampras had bad posture and looked 183 cm. It seems Sampras
has improved his posture and lookes taller nowadays.

Here is a picmture of Sampras and Federer having almost the
same height. Fed might be 1 cm taller.

Andre Agassi 178 cm max
Sampras 185 max
Federer 186 max

Vincenzo says on 25/May/08
I think he is more in the 5'9.5 range, 5'10 is pushing it.

Shawn37 says on 17/May/08
He's barely taller than his 5'9 wife Steffi Graf, 178 cm (5ft 10) sounds right for this guy.

Leung says on 12/May/08
Steffi Graf is 5’9”

quebecker says on 11/May/08
Anybody know how tall his wife (Steffi Graf) is?

quebecker says on 11/May/08
i don't believe he's anymore than 5'10 (178 cm)

mr. blue says on 6/May/08
Steve012 is right, Editor Rob. I'd change it to 179 cm.

Jason says on 5/May/08
i agree gazinder

Steve012 says on 2/May/08
BTW, i don't think he's taller than 179 cm, he said it self and i've no idea why he should downgrade himself. I also don't think that he would claim his evening or after exercise height as his "height", why should a man do this, Leung?

Steve012 says on 2/May/08
5'10 3/4 isn't't 180 cm, 5'11 is 180 cm, 5'10 3/4 is 179 cm or so.

Anonymous says on 23/Mar/08
I personally think he is 5'9.5 to 5'10 (that height he gave 5'10.75 is with shoes, as Americans have a habit of stating height in shoes)

Anonymous says on 23/Nov/07
there is no doubt about it that Agassi is somewhere between 5'10.5 and 5'11 depending on the day.

antron says on 21/Oct/07
all evidence points to 5'10 and change

Caesar says on 10/Sep/07
Jan, Federer has pretty thick hair there. Taking that into account, Agassi looks about 2.5 inches shorter, and if Federer is exactly 6'1 1/4 then that would make Agassi 5'10 3/4 as he says. I don't like talking in quarter inches, so we'll round down to 6'1 and 5'10.5.

JanJ says on 30/Jul/07
agassi is more like 5'10 or 177 cm

weekly says on 20/May/07
antron - Sampras has been always listed at 6'1, but I doubt he is this height nowadays. He was extremely slouching during matches and so he does when photographed. I've never seen him standing straight on any photo. That's why I think Sampras could be about 5'11-6'0, which would make Agassi 5'9.75-5'10.75, because I think there's an 1.25'' difference between them.

MD says on 24/Apr/07
As I said months ago he really looks of average height to me. I'd give him no more than 5'10" barefoot, with his own stated height of 5'10.75" in shoes. He just can't be 5'10.75" barefoot, of he'd regularly loook 6'0", and he's never looked that, to me.

Again, with people of known height. Notice him and 5'9.25" Serena Williams. Daisy Fuentas (adjacent right) is given 5'8.5", and Ellen 5'7". Andy Roddick is either 6'1" or 6'2":

Vibram says on 23/Apr/07
I agree with hulk. 5'11'"/180 is nonsense for this guy. He looks 177'ish, 178 at most. He just doesn't exude the build of a guy above 5'10", and I doubt he's shrunk since his peak playing days (23-30), it's not like he's 55 or something........he's only 36 for Christ sake!

hulk says on 23/Apr/07
He doesnt look 180 on this picture, i would say 177 cm, and thats it.

Mr Mayfair says on 10/Jan/07
He always used to claim 5.11 which made me at least six foot tall, when I peaked at 5.11. I was surprised to see just how small he and most other "celebrities" really are!

Anonymous says on 9/Jan/07
Also those are horribly angled pics and Andy still looks taller in 3 out of 4 since he's leaning in the 5th one. Note that he has a cap in the 1st one and an inch lower heel in the 3rd one yet he is STILL taller than Roger who is 186 making him 188.

Anonymous says on 9/Jan/07
He gets the 6'1" because when he first turned pro he was 17/18. You can tell in pics he's taller consistently. He's 4 inches taller than Hewitt and ATLEAST 1 than Federer. So Agassi probably is 5'10.75"-5'11".

Anonymous says on 27/Dec/06
MD-Roddick is 6'2" and Serena is a bit over 5'9".

Re John McEnroe - I saw him talking on BBC television last Wimbledon. He said that, as he was 5ft 11 and a half inches tall, he was going to start to round up his height and claim 6ft - this was in response to another player (can't remember who) who had rounded up his height.

MD says on 29/Nov/06
Which pic?

dmeyer says on 23/Nov/06
looks a weak 180 in that pic

rick says on 23/Nov/06
No Steffi is smaller than him. I always thought 179/180 cms for Agassi. So I was right. (see my comment on May 2006 about Matthew Perry). I'm 179.5 cms and when I was just in front of Andre at the French Open, I estimated him at a little 180. but I haven't any pic of us. Sorry.

Gonzalo says on 23/Nov/06
Is it you, Mikex

Anonymous says on 28/Oct/06
BTW, he is taller than Steffi Graf, and he always looked about the same height as Brooke Shields. And he's not the type to ever wear lifts. He's quite comfortable with being shorter than everyone, since he mostly hangs out with 6'1" - 6'5" tennis players.

Anonymous says on 28/Oct/06
Nah...I know tennis. He's always been known as 5'11" at least. Most people say he is closer to 6'. John McEnroe said he was 5'11" 1/2. Since he has admitted that he is 5'10" 3/4, and since that is such an exact height, and he is a professional athlete and probably knows his exact measurements, that's his height. If you met him and he seemed shorter than that, maybe he just shrunk more than you during the course of the day. He always looked close in height to Sampras and he seems only a couple of inches shorter than Federer.

MD says on 13/Oct/06
I'm sticking to my guns that the 5'10.75" is in shoes. He's 5'10" tops barefoot.

Bad Attitude says on 12/Oct/06
Agassi doesn't look taller than 5'10". His wife, Steffi Graf, is as tall as him.

Anon says on 11/Sep/06
I wonder if he lost a bit of height due to all his back problems. Bulging discs, shifting vertebrae, bone spurs...at the very least it has an effect on his posture. John McEnroe BTW is 6' even.

bikagyura says on 6/Sep/06
seriously Viper... I can't recall discovering a single height comment you wrote that wasn't logically distorted... Perry is at least 5' 11" for sure...

indian hunk says on 5/Sep/06
guys debate is over steffi graf is listed as 5 feet 9 everywhere.so this is her max height probably a bit less but not much cause she looks it.then look at the pic provided by MD.see the pic,here andy is slouching a lot steffi too has her legs bent a bit which might make her to loose bout half an inch now look at andre his feet are not firm on ground maybe hes trying to look taller by doing this,this accounts for an increase of about half an inch.now compare steffi and andre.hes 2 inches taller than her in that pic but in reality hes only one inch taller cause of his foot being not on the ground and steffis slouching.so i guess hes atmost 5 feet 10 if we take steffi to be 5 feet 9 .end of story

Nolifts81 says on 4/Sep/06
Right Rob I've seen him in Rome 3 times in occasion of "Telecom Italia Masters"and he is about 180cm or at least 179cm.P.S. You are talking about Luke Perry or another person called also Perry? If you are talking about Luke Perry I can say that he is for sure 176 cm(5'9"+). In 1995 he starred in an Italian movie called "Vacanze di Natale95" with one of the most famous actor in Italy Massimo Boldi. Massimo Boldi is for sure 5'9" and Luke was about the same height or 0.5 at max (1cm)taller than Boldi. So I am almost sure that Luke Perry is 5'9"+ (176cm).

I was about to say the exact same thing, Stiffelio. He was AT LEAST a full inch shorter than McEnroe in that interview, and I'd even say as much as 1.5" I'd say 5'10" tops, unless McEnroe is honestly 6'0", which I doubt.

[Editor Rob: just had a look and would agree that there looked nearer 1.5 inch, but hard to say if more because of hair+footwear, although I don't think Agassi had thin trainers on. 5ft 10.75 could be an early morning height for this guy...]

stan says on 2/Sep/06
rob does your morning height really come back after laying down for only 20 mins?

[Editor Rob: well, not quite your early early morning height, maybe your hour after rising height. You'd need to try it yourself...]

Stiffelio says on 2/Sep/06
I think this could be his height with tennis shoes on. I'd subtract 1 full inch for his barefoot height, or even 1 1/2 inch. He did look 1 1/2 inches shorter than 5ft 11in John McEnroe, when the latter interviewed him for the TV after his thrilling and loooooonnggg match with Baghdatis.

xaoxio says on 2/Sep/06
I don't think that Andre is lying either but may be that's his old measurement?
You do know that he has some problems with his back, don't you?
p.s.(Click Here)- the official site of men's proffesional tennis - that's where you can check player's height. That's not the most correct source for height but still it's quite reliable...
