Djokovic is around 6'1 1/2/6'2- 187/188cm, And clearly has a few inches on him more than 1 or 2, Mcenroe is 5'11 at a push, He is no way 6'0.

I could swear he was listed as 6-1 in the 1983 U.S. Open. Prolly height with shoes. Brad says on 17/May/09
Yeah, it is. Anonymous says on 11/May/09
thankyou 5'11" is much more sensible for john Milosh says on 9/May/09
I think he's about 5'11" too. Also, was that lady in the picture aware of how revealing that top is? Yikes! Brad says on 7/May/09
"contemporary height inflation". Jon Lovitz: "yeh, dats it, like really new". Imagine fighting over John's height with John. richinkle says on 6/May/09
I agree with Antonio. He was always listed as 5'-11" during tennis matches in the 70's and 80's, and has certainly not grown since then. This 6'-0" listing is more of the same contemporary height inflation. Bo says on 6/May/09
wow can u say "see-through shirt" lol Brad says on 6/May/09
Elevator shoes on John McEnroe...omg. Anonymous says on 6/May/09
Elevator shoes! Antonio says on 5/May/09
If his claim of growing to 6'by stretching is not true, and it most likely isn't ... then he is not 6'!
He was always listed at 5'11". He is over 50 yrs. old now and most likely beginning to shrink. He is probably around 5-10.5 now. Ali says on 2/May/09
I think Mcenroe is 181 cm, that is 5'11.5
I assume. Tareq says on 29/Apr/09
While we are talking tennis and celebs...my 2 minutes of fame with tennis celebs...Back in January 2004, while I was on my way to visit my home country of Bangladesh, I ran into Brad Gilbert, Andy Roddick and Tim Henman while waiting for my connecting flight at the Dubai Airport. Brad was coaching Andy at that time and Andy was #1 back then. I thought they came to play at the Dubai Open; but turned out they were heading Down Under for the first slam of the year. All of them looked exactly as they were listed on the ATP website. Brad was 6'1" with a pretty large frame; Andy was a solid 6'2" and Henman was 6'1". Andy and Henman were good friends and they used to practice together. Funny thing was that I called out Brad Gilbert as "Hi Brad!" almost as if I knew him personally. He was quite surprised as he did not expect anybody to recognize him in an airport in Middle East...While I was leaving them after my brief conversation, I overheard Roddick asking Brad that if I was a friend of him. Brad was like...Naah! Must be a fan :) Bradley says on 28/Apr/09
Back when he was an active player, he was usually listed at either 5'10" or 5'11". I've seen him (although I've never stood next to him) and feel he probably is within that range. I'm not sure why anyone would really care since he's neither short nor tall. Vibram says on 28/Apr/09
He was incredibly slight during his playing years... that makes a man look smaller IMO. Was Jimmy Connors only 5ft9'ish? That's quite small for a tennis player these days. Brad says on 28/Apr/09
Roth has always looked tall by Michael & Eddie & Sammy. Massimo says on 28/Apr/09
He is my favourite tennis player ever. Right now I am rewatching the 1984 Wimbledon final between him and Jimmy Connors which he won 6-1/6-1/6-2.
I remember that he interviewed Nadal just after the 2008 Wimbledon final and he was quite clearly shorter than Rafa. I think that Rafa can't be over 6'1" as he is shorter than Federer. I am pretty sure that Rafa Nadal is gonna be remember as the greatest tennis champion of all times. He still has about 40 Grand Slams to play and who knows how many of them he is going to win.

with Henman he looks 5'9". There must be something wrong with that photo, though I see him being more 5'11" than the 6'0" he claims. Tareq, men usually start to lose height in their early 60's, so it's not surprising to see McEnroe being just as tall as he was 20 years ago. Brad says on 27/Apr/09
EVH operations have shrunk him. Roth looks shorter due to the short hairpiece he wears now. The '86 wig was giant.Alot/reconize/honered. Pow/Zap/Bam! The Horse of FUNK says on 26/Apr/09
I'm sorry, but there's just something funny and funky about this photo. jon says on 26/Apr/09
Stiffelio is obviously blind-Mac looks over 6ft in this picture because of angles and positioning. He is under 6 foot tall. At wimbledon he was commenting how tall Henman was when he stood next to him. He was expecting to be taller than him but was WAY shorter. GPM says on 24/Apr/09
I sold McEnroe tennis balls at the Hotel he was staying at. He was standing two feet away from me. He is six feet tall. Tareq says on 24/Apr/09
McEnroe has said in his book and also during commentry that he is 5'11.75" but he rounds up and says 6 ft when people ask about his height. The surprising fact is that now, even at 50, he has not lost any height from his heydays of the 80s. I guess regular tennis and strength training/stretching has helped him hold on to his peak height so far. His slender frame at 165 pounds, especially the slim shoulders, makes him look around 5'11" when playing tennis on tv. But when he stands next to other players, you could tell that he is just shy of 6 ft. His younger brother, the Davis Cup team captain Patrick McEnroe, is solid 6 foot. ACG says on 24/Apr/09

All tennis heights (and most athletes' heights for that matter) are taken WITH shoes.
I don't think they get measured, they probably get listed at the height they claim themselves. That's why you see Federer being the full 6'1" he's listed at, while someone like Donald Young is 2-3 inches shorter than his listed height. Brad says on 23/Apr/09
I've seen a picture of EVH & Mac, it ain't pretty if you believe he is 6'. She showed more than that with Scandal opening for The Kinks in '81 at the Garden. bam says on 23/Apr/09
the guy does have a lot of 5'11 listings floating around. bam says on 23/Apr/09
5'11 to 6ft? that sounds incredible. richinkle says on 22/Apr/09
He has referred to himself as 5'-11" in the past. Never 6'-0". Brad says on 22/Apr/09
Barely taller than Eddie Van Halen. Stiffelio says on 22/Apr/09

Solid 5"11, looks taller due to being stick thin. D. Ray Morton says on 22/Apr/09
5'11"? Are you kidding? That height is on the line! Brad says on 22/Apr/09
He's 5' 11". Anonymous says on 22/Apr/09
tennis players height aren't accurate at all, Nadal is listed at 6'1" and is clearly shorter than Federer, Gasquet is listed at 6'1" and is shorter than Nadal, Hewitt is listed at 5'11" and is at the very least 3 inches shorter than Federer, Donald Young is listed at 6'0" and is shorter than 5'10" listed Kei Nishikori, Gulbis is listed at 6'3" and is shorter than 6'2" listed Djokovic, Verdasco is listed at 6'2" and is pretty shorter than 6'2" listed Roddick, Lopez, Djokovic. McEnroe looks to me 5'11", that's how he gets listed almost everywhere. anon says on 21/Apr/09
"Stretches" doesn't make sense unless he had an inherent spinal disc compression problem that he was able to correct through stretching. I'm not a doctor but I can buy that if that's what he claims, he definitely seems taller now than when he was younger. Easily 6'. And the thing about tennis players is they can't lie. They all wear the same shoes and you always see them photographed and videotaped together. That's why Federer towers over Tiger Woods but is not much taller than McEnroe - Fed's height is accurate, Mac's height is accurate, Woods' height is not. Leung says on 21/Apr/09
Wow! McEnroe is taller than I expected.
I had always thought he looked 5’10.5”-5’11”.
But in the photo he looks a solid 6 footer. Anonymous says on 21/Apr/09
Wow so he's taller than Borg? Borg is listed everywhere as 5'11". I always thought McEnroe was at least 1 inch shorter by seeing them on the court. Maybe it's because Borg had huge shoulders that made him look taller. Doug says on 21/Apr/09
Why was he always listed ar 5'11" then? miko says on 21/Apr/09
He's looking very close to 6"0 in this pic.
I think he's 5"11.75.

A well known weak 6 footer. Has been married to Smyth since the late 90's. Before that, he was married to Tatum O'Neal. Great player. Equally great commentator. Hillarious. Brad says on 20/Apr/09
I owned Patty by a foot. Ant says on 20/Apr/09
wow never realised he was that tall I always thought he was around 5ft 10, possibly the most talented tennis player (in my opinion) ever cool dude. D. Ray Morton says on 20/Apr/09
6 ft 0? You cannot be serious! mcfan says on 20/Apr/09
Who is the actress on the right? She's somebody. dave says on 20/Apr/09
looks a 6'1 if standing straight here, which is weird as 6'1+ fed is clearly taller than him in every interview. miko says on 20/Apr/09
He is listed as 5"11 nearly everywhere. The Guy says on 20/Apr/09
Looks 5'11 for me. |
