He is like me: 179cm-179.50-180cm(between 5'10 and half and 5"11). He looks much shorter than he really is in person.I bet he's around 180.50cm when he wakes up and 178.80cm when he goes to bed like me.

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

@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)

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...

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).

I saw him at a charity event in Memphis. He's five foot ten in shoes. Weighs about 180.

He's always looked 5'10 to me. This is about correct yes!

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.

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.

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.
