miser says on 2/Jul/09
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.

She is shorter than Djokovic. So she can't
be 6'2.
She is definitely a tall woman. 185-186cm. Leung says on 1/Jul/09
I suggest everyone to simply ignore Miser’s 5’11” Sharapova claims. ZAQ says on 1/Jul/09
she was born on april 1987
so in 2001 she was 5'3 and 14
so by 14.5 she was 5'9
by 15.5 5'10 1/2
and at 17 she was 6'0
18 6'1 1/2
19 6'2
she was a late bloomer obv miser says on 1/Jul/09
The pictures I posted of Sharapova with Venus Williams were taken in 2008. Anonymous says on 1/Jul/09
There is a nice comparison pic of the 6'0", 165 lbs Dinara Safina & the 5'2", 125 lbs Dominika Cibulkova before their match at the French Open. Safina looks so huge and muscular next to the tiny Cibulkova. Craig says on 1/Jul/09
i dont know why people are having such a tough time accepting maria sharapova as 6'2", people are postin her pics from 2003-2004(when she was 6')and are claiming her to be shorter. so pls check the dates of your pics before posting your claims Anonymous says on 30/Jun/09
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 Leung says on 29/Jun/09
I think 6’1” is closer to the truth for Sharapova. miser says on 28/Jun/09
"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. R says on 27/Jun/09

"Those weren't "monster heels" miser, they look to be around 2-3 inches. "
Sharapova herself said they were "5 inches":
"When I walked out of the dressing room in five-inch heels, the look on Matthew's face said he wished I'd gone with flats. "You're going to tower over me," he said. (We're both 6'2" barefoot.) "You need to get used to powerful women," I replied. "Stand on an apple box.""
"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 says 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. Ace says on 26/Jun/09
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. The shortest she can be is 6`1. miser says on 26/Jun/09

"there you go, another confirmation from Maria that she is 6'2."
Lol, sure, if she says so herself (again) it must be true... what this excerpt actually does is to show her fixation on this fantasy of hers... it shows that she wants to be seem as very tall. "You NEED to get used to powerful women guys"... lol! ;-D Anonymous says on 21/Jun/09

its hard to believe i know but youll have to adjust cantbitetongue says on 14/Jun/09
listen, someone who has personal -in the flesh- experience TOLD You she is at least 61 probably not over 62 in her feet. Venus Has NEVER EVER EVER been HAIR over 61/2 not 61 not 62 SIX Feet and a half inch Not a Hair more think Anonymous says on 12/Jun/09
@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. hh says on 8/Jun/09
i see in a site that now she is 6foot4 El says on 6/Jun/09
hehe ) Maria's height's 188 cm now.. and she weights i think about 57-60 (max) kilos :) yeah..think she'd be great playin v-ball LOL
and she's so tall coz serving the ball makes u growin.. also swimmin and servin in volleyball )) Anonymous says on 4/Jun/09
The french open match betwn Maria Sharapova and Dominica Cibulkova was a great chance for some good height comparisons betwn the 6'2" Maria & the 5'3" Dominica. Maria was a whole head taller but Dominica as a whole was much better packaged U.N. Owen says on 26/May/09
Anonymous, your math makes no sense whatsoever. 6'2" is not at all an unreasonable estimate for Maria, even if Stafford were really closer to 6'2" himself. (I liked the Kylie Minogue comment earlier BTW... LOL) Anonymous says on 23/May/09
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 says 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 says 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. U.N. Owen says on 15/May/09
>Yeah Sharapova is not a turn on...
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. Anonymous3 says on 13/May/09
slightly over 6' at best. and heels do give a lot of height depending on the shoe Anonymous says on 9/May/09
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. Anonymous says on 9/May/09
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. JJ says on 30/Apr/09
Doink, heels don't give 5.5 inches. Or 4.5 inches. Her heels look like 2 1/2 or 3 inches maximum. Doink says on 29/Apr/09
Click Here
Here 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 says 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. Anonymous says on 24/Apr/09

I love the way Sharapova is open to attracting the jealous ladies as does Angelina Jolie on here. Sharapova is 5'1.5" I swear!! Kylie Minogue had an inch on her in heels LOL. I saw her on Regis and Kelly and MAN! is this girl tall. You better beleive she is every inch of 6 foot 2 and she was looking in the 6'4" range in two inch heels no doubt about it!. This is legit, as if being 6' wasn't enough. Steroids is bull, although I am inclined to believe she likes being this tall more than she is letting on. Anonymous says on 7/Apr/09
If Sharapova had taken steroids, Im sure she would have bulked up together with getting taller. Sharapova is in no way muscular, she is just tall and lanky. She would look so much more attractive if she put on some muscle onto that 6'2" frame of hers. Muscle not as in the Serena Williams type but more of the Nicole Vaidisova types. Nicole is 6 ft tall and weighs abt 170 lbs and is so fit and toned, unlike Sharapova who look so weak Maribel says 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. Kendra says on 2/Apr/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 says on 28/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 says 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 says 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 says on 28/Feb/09
anyways 6ft plus is really tall for a girl... ANON says on 26/Feb/09
This beauty is just under 6' 1" that's her correct height,believe me I should know! LOL says 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 says 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 says 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) Juliana says on 13/Feb/09
Wow, Maria is a tall girl :)! People say she's 130 pounds?? That's not a reasonable weight for that height. I'm 5'10 and I'm 140. lullemans says 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 says 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 says 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 Here
Pause 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 says 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 says 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 says 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

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 says on 25/Jan/09
i don't see 6'2, 6feet best. Eagle eye says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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 says 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. anonnymous says on 8/Jan/09

Crap... the video I posted of her standing next to Venus was perhaps the best evidence presented in this page... at least the best I saw. It certainly was much better than the useless "evidence" posted by the sharapova-nutties (a friend of friend met sharapova and said she's 6-2, or a picture of her in huge heels next to unknown midgets, carefully selected "angled" pictures etc etc). Anonymous3 also posted pictures of her next to Andy Roddick and Murphy Jensen that clearly show she's below 6-1. There were also these full-body pictures of her next to James Blake, Andy Roddick and Brenda Schultz-McCarthy.

>plus you ignore the clear 4-5 inches maria has on serena williams.
i don't know how tall serena is, she could be 5-8 for all i know. what i'm taking as a definite standard is the height of davenport, she was measured and her height was given out as 189cm. venus is maybe more than an inch shorter than her, and venus has another inch on sharapova. it's a lot better to compare people of similar heights.

"While it's fun to argue about photos, footwear, and camera angles, I don't doubt her at her word when she says she's "about 6-2.""
Well I think the fun part of this website is exactly to "verify" if what "celebrities" claim as their height is true or not... I think most of them don't lie about it, some do. This particular case is rather cute because of the way Sharapova lies about, she augments her height too much, by about 2"... she seems like a rather clueless teenager lying about it... probably got caught up in the excitment, everyone remarks on how tall she is everywhere she goes... She really was a teenager not long ago.
"There's frankly no reason for her to exaggerate her height"
What nonsense... yes there are reasons for her to exaggerate her height, she gets more hype as someone here said and consequently more media exposure, more advertisement. In other more cash and attention.
"as our society generally does not look kindly on women taller than they're "supposed to be.""
Oh sure... look at all these "supermodels", for example. Some are arond 5-10, even 5-11 and they sure are not considered "manly" or inadequate in ANY way. If anything they are role models for most women.
"She is also significantly taller and stronger than the average man. The two are not mutually exclusive. "
She may be a bit taller than average males, but she isn't "stronger"... she's got a thin build, which is the reason she still looks feminine at that height. U.N. Owen says on 30/Dec/08
I for one disagree with all of these calls to "downgrade" Maria. While it's fun to argue about photos, footwear, and camera angles, I don't doubt her at her word when she says she's "about 6-2." There's frankly no reason for her to exaggerate her height, as our society generally does not look kindly on women taller than they're "supposed to be."
As just about every heterosexual male would agree, Maria Sharapova is drop-dead gorgeous. She is also significantly taller and stronger than the average man. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Keep her at 6 foot 2 until she goes back-to-back with Gabby Reece barefoot. I volunteer to be a judge, BTW... :D miser says on 27/Dec/08
"Alex says on 27/Dec/08
She looks at least 6'1 with Serena though. Fine she may not be as tall as 6'2 but 6'1 may be more accurate. This 5'10-5'11 stuff seems too short for her."
Who the heck said she's 5-10? There ain't a SINGLE coment in this page saying that. And what do you mean by too short "for her"? Is she "supposed" to be a certain height? If anything she's TALLER than what she was "supposed" to be, she is way taller than both her parents. She has probably done the best out of her genetic potential, standing at 5'11½... Venuses' and Davenport's parents for example are way taller than Sharapova's.
"She is still taller than Josh Duhammel"
No she isn't. Not even on those monster heels of her. Look up the ESPN video on youtube.
"Anonymous says on 24/Dec/08
no more than 5'11, 3cm shorter than venus lol Click Here"
LOL, I suppose this picture has no "angle problem". That similar picture of her with Davenport by the net also has no angle problem. But the picture and the video of her standing side-to-side with Venus has angle problems. Get a clue already.
"Bud says on 21/Dec/08
Here she is with a modest 2-3" heel height advantage..."
A "modest" 3 inch advantage, lol... Do you consider the gap between a 5-8 and a 5-11 to be "modest"? It isn't... If we take a 6 feet tall guy and put him in a huge heels he will be about 1.90m too. SO WHAT? Does that mean he has turned into a 6-2, 6-3? Absolutely not, geez... back to earth folks. Alex says on 27/Dec/08
She looks at least 6'1 with Serena though. Fine she may not be as tall as 6'2 but 6'1 may be more accurate. This 5'10-5'11 stuff seems too short for her. anonymous says on 26/Dec/08
Here are a few reasons i will not believe she is anything shorter than 6`1:
She is still taller than Josh Duhammel (yes she is wearing heels, but he is 6`3.5 (6`4.5 in shoes) and she is still a half inch taller than him): Click Here
She towers Uma Thurman by what looks to be nearly five inches (if uma is wearing flats and sharapova is wearing 3 inch heels, than it would equate to 6`2): Click Here
She also has about 4-5 inches on 5`9ish serena williams: Click Here miser says on 26/Dec/08
We already know the truth Randy, she's about 5'11½, 6' tops. But if you could get a picture to stamp this page, it would be good... maybe it would scare off all these crazies who desperately want to believe she is over 6'. Otherwise they will simply never give up, lol. ;) Randy says on 26/Dec/08
Next tournament I go watch, I'll try to get a pic with her so we can finally know the truth. For now, a 1" or 1 1/5" downgrade is in order for Ms. Sharapova. anonymous says on 25/Dec/08
there are very few pictures of maria sharapova standing straight though. in most of her photos, she is typically slouching, or leaning in. that does make her look occasionally shorter. Andy van Karlsen says on 25/Dec/08
6'1.5 never. I thought she's 6'1.5 at max but now i know that it is impossible. She's 6'0.5-6'1 Dom says on 25/Dec/08
Maria is at least 6'1,5" but probably 6'2". I watch tennis all the time and she always looks taller than Venus and Barely shorter than Davenport. And she looks it in every pic Ive seen of her axcept maybe two pics with weird angles miser and anonymous found. Anonymous says on 24/Dec/08
no more than 5'11, 3cm shorter than venus lol Click Here anonymoose says on 24/Dec/08
yes Rob u need to downgrade Maria to 6"1 as of now Alex says on 24/Dec/08
I do think the angle favored Venus a bit. Both I would think are about the same height still. Andy van Karlsen says on 23/Dec/08
Downgrade by 1 inch MINIMUM pls! Bud says on 23/Dec/08
She may have been 130# in 2004 when she was 6'-0" tall and won Wimby. Now, I'd say she's a couple inches taller and 165-170#. anonymoose says on 23/Dec/08
even if Maria is 6"0.5-6"1 it doesn't matter coz she is still a very tall girl Andy van Karlsen says on 22/Dec/08
As I said. between 183-187 ;) can we settle on 6'075 (approximately 184.5cm)? 188cm is really a joke and I don't want her to be very tall. If so I would affirm "SHE'S A GIANT SHE'S 6'2... NOOO SHE'S 6'3+ !!!!"
She's a weak 6'1 in my eyes... that's it! Pako says on 22/Dec/08
Only in the last pics you can see Venus taller but at all the others pics Maria is taller so I think Maria is really 6'2 and Venus 6'1 Alex says on 22/Dec/08
Maria gets listed at 6'0 and 6'2. 130lbs for her you think is accurate? Alex says on 22/Dec/08
Maria gets listed at 6'0 and 6'2. 130lbs for her you think is accurate? anonymoose says on 22/Dec/08
Maria can be 6"1... in the Venus pics she has angle disadvantage..but hey isn't Venus listed at 6"0.5 on this site??? so Maria is either 6"0.5 or 6"1..I think both Maria and Venus r of the same height :) Maria just creates the illusion of being 6"2 but she is below it man :) Bud says on 21/Dec/08
Here she is with a modest 2-3" heel height advantage... AND slumping (standing on 1 foot with her neck bent)... Yet, she still towers over these 3 military guys (in their chunky military shoes). The guy on the right has to be at LEAST 6' tall. I've stood next to Sharapova and she's definitely 6'-2" tall (minimum). I'm not sure why people have such a hard time believing that.
Click Here Anonymous3 says on 21/Dec/08
mister you're right. She's is right around 6feet, Venus is taller than her definitely. But one thing's for certain, she is doe growing. Even most guys don't grow past 20. Guy's are mostly done around 18,19 and maybe for late bloomers at around 20. Girl's I find it hard to grow past 20, 21, or 22. She's not going to be taller than me. I'm 6'8 according to the media and its upgradeable heights. I'd like to see her grow to 6'10 or more to tower me! hehe miser says on 21/Dec/08
Yes Anonymous3 she will soon catch up with and then pass you, at least according to our giantess-loving friends here on this page. She will never quit growing... lol.
"miser I honestly think that you underrate her height for some reason."
Honestly I think it is OVERWHELMINGLY obvious to any rational reader that you WANT her to be very tall for some reason. Just how the HELL could she be 6'1.5 (187cm) if not even Venus Williams is that tall? Venus at the most 186cm and has maybe more than an inch on Sharapova:
Click Here
Even if Venus is 186cm, Sharapova is 6 feet at best. 5'11½ more likely. Anonymous3 says on 21/Dec/08
lol mister....catch up with me? She'll never me a legit 196cm barefoot. Since you inflated her height by like near 3 inches I'll just claim 6'8/203cm. Is she going to be having a 4th and 5th growth spurt? I high doubt it at her age. She's done growing for good at 21 turning 22 at 6'-6'1 at a stretch. Andy van Karlsen says on 21/Dec/08
miser I honestly think that you underrate her height for some reason.
She's 100% between 6'0 and 6'1.5. Never ever at about 5'11 (ridiculous!!!) or over 6'1.5 (187cm). Even 6'0 is very tall for a woman but I think she's 6'1 or a little under (184cm). Williams is maybe a strong 6'1 186cm. Sharapova isn't more than 2cm shorter so 184cm would be correct.
Isn't there an approved voucher out there? I'm sure she lied by saying that she's 6'2 in that TV show months ago. Maybe in 1+x inch sneakers ;)
My guess (+/-1cm) is 6'0.75 (184.5-185) miser says on 20/Dec/08
"She is MINIMUM 2.5 cm shorter than Davenport which makes here 186-187cm (6'1.5)"
This is made up. miser says on 20/Dec/08
"The pic were Williams is taller was b4 this spurt were Sharapova was in the 5'11.5-zone +/- 0.5 inches. I think that she grew at about 3cm after that picture was shot."
The pictures of her with Venus are from January/2008. But you are right, in May she had a "growth spurt" and grew 3 cm. In august she had another, and grew another 3 cm. We can't foget to account for her third "growth spurt" of this year, which happened just last November. She grew amother 3 cm there. So she is really almost 6-4 by now. Catching up with you Anonymous3. Andy van Karlsen says on 20/Dec/08
Hello guys.
I really read all of the posts here and I had also a look @ sum pics of here/other female tennis players.
It seems to me, that most female tennis players get a boost of 0,5-1,5 inches. The only tennis players with 100% proofed height are Williams, Davenport, Vadisova and so on.
Williams is at about 6'1 which means at about 185cm
Davenport is at about 6'2.5 189cm
So... about Sharapova let's sum up the facts:
She is MINIMUM 2.5 cm shorter than Davenport which makes here 186-187cm (6'1.5)
But... she is at about the same height (even a bit shorter) than Williams which is very strange cuz she's 185cm, hmmm...
I really don't believe that Sharapova is MORE than 187cm (6'1.5) and LESS than 183cm=6'0. It's ridiculous to read some ppl saying she's less than 6'0 or more than 6'2... this can't be true. She really had a grow spurt. The pic were Williams is taller was b4 this spurt were Sharapova was in the 5'11.5-zone +/- 0.5 inches. I think that she grew at about 3cm after that picture was shot.
Again.. SHE IS MINIMUM 6'0=183cm and MAXIMIMUM 6'1.5 187cm so I would say she is really at about 6'1. A weak 6'1 maybe 6'0.5-6'0.75.
Now stop persist in saying she is less than 183 or more than 187cm. That isn't true! Anonymous3 says on 19/Dec/08
yea sure whatever you idiots say, but the 6'2 she is supposedly listed isn't true. She is shorter than that. She's not a legit/real 6'2. She's like barely 6 feet if at all. If you guys keep this up, that gives me the right to take my height as 6'7(201cm) or something when I'm 196cm giving me the right to upgrade myself also. So there ha. I have ways to get even Pako says on 18/Dec/08
Sharapova 6-2 I dont see any problem with that I know a Mexican volley ball player and she is 6-5 her name is Bibians Candelas and I think she is really tall Alex says on 17/Dec/08
5'11 for a female is the start of being VERY tall. A giant for a female would be more like 6'4-6'5 plus which would equal a 6'10 man being a giant which makes sense. Anonymous3 says on 16/Dec/08
Mikez, I figured out, you just don't want her to be taller than you. You claim you are 6' tall and she is not over 6'.To me it looks quiet oppostie of what you say about people want girls to be giantesses, it's the other way around, and some people have hard time accepting the fact that some women/girls are over 6' tall. IMO she's 6'1 or very close to it, 184/185cm. She does look like that standing next to 189cm Davenport, and other tall men and women. Some people who saw her in person say that she's 6'1/6'2, look below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 feet FLAT MAX, 5'11.5 MORE LIKELY, I DO NOT EVER SEE a 6'2 legit picture courtesy of Sharapova. It's the industry and endorsements way of promotion. She is basically advertising products for endorsements and is given more HYPE by raising her height. 6'3 is a joke for her, why do some people say she is 6'3. Do they not know 6'3=191cm? and 6'2=188cm? Some people probably thinks 6'2 is 185cm because an inch is 2.5cm right? It's 2.54cm/inch actually. 6 feet is not 180cm, it's 183cm. A lot of people always go with 1.8m. That's barely 5'11... It's things like these that mess up legit heights and people's perspectives.
Luckily I'm well over the hot zone at 6'5+/196cm. miser says on 15/Dec/08
"IMO she's 6'1 or very close to it, 184/185cm"
Lol, here we go again. Did you see the pictures of her next to Venus? Venus is 186cm at the very most and certainly has at least 3 cm on Sharapova. Sharapova is 183cm at the most.
"She does look like that standing next to 189cm Davenport"
Really? Where have you seen her standing next to Davenport? Post a pic if you have one(not that same old bad picture of them at the net please)

Mikez and Anonymous3: yes there are a bunch of lunatics here in this website campaigning for tall women, or for the supposed tallness of many women... it really is like a movement to promote gigantism among women lol, I don't know what this is about. This website has dozens of 5'9"ish women listed as 5'11" or 6'. Maybe this is orchestrated by the National Osteoporosis Foundation? I was having an argument about this with a girl on the 'Sigourney Weaver' page here, look it up.
Just because someone doesn't agree with you they're deemed as a "lunatic"? I simply ended the conversation because you kept on rambling on just because I didn't think your pictures dispelled Sigourney's height as listed here. Or Nicole's. You kept on bringing up Sharapova and all of these other females on a Sigourney page were taller than listed. I never said they weren't-- I even mentioned some that were, yet you shot it down. I also didn't claim Sharapova was 6'2", as she's an athlete and almost all of their stats are fudged even more so than actors and actresses.
And since when was 5'11" - 6' a giant for a woman? I don't here the same for men at 6'4"+. They may not be common, but they aren't that rare. I see them quite often on my campus. But then again, I'm done arguing with you. If you can't accept the fact that others don't necessarily have to agree with your point of view, then I have nothing more to say. anonymoose says on 15/Dec/08
after looking at the pics posted by miser I think Maria is 6"1 the same height as Venus..she looks a bit shorter in those pics bcoz Venus has angle advantage Mikez says on 15/Dec/08

Anon3 : thanks man!
Why do people want her to be a giant? Well basically her whole gimmick is being a tall blonde amazon. THATS how she makes her money. She has to stand out. She makes a lot more from endorsements than prize money.
Theres also the reason that 95% of people Ive met just cant gauge height that accurately. And id like to point out im not a hater of tall people. Im comfortable with my height. I said myself a while ago I thought djokovic was taller than the 6'2 listed. And its been updated i think since. This all started when I went to the Aus open in 07 and saw a dramatic difference in the listed heights of athletes and what they were in person. The people 6'3 and over are all legit as they have no real reason to inflate, but so many others were much smaller in person. Anonymous3 says on 14/Dec/08
Mikez you are right man, I don't see why everyone wants her to be a giant. Why can't she just be 5-11 to 6'. It's like they are promoting giantesses or something. She would have to be a solid 6'2 BAREFOOT in the late evening to be considered in the 6'2 range. And honestly there aren't that many legit 6'2 people. Most are within the 6'1 and 6'1.5 range claiming 6'2. a legit 6'2-6'3 of anything between can easily pass for 6'4 in this case.
I say easily because people are adding inches to their own height as well but Rob here will likely be able to tell a 6'2-6'3 person from a real 6'4 one. Mikez says on 14/Dec/08
Lol alex, aka tallblondelover. Still hanging on to your "wish" she is 6'2. Look at some of these comments by you man"

The truth shall set you free. Finally this cant be denied anymore. I was practically made an outcast here and called a hater and an idiot a year ago for claiming she was "only" 5'11.5 to 6'0 , which is still very tall for a girl.
Case closed, can we move on now. Thank you Anon3 and miser for finally backing up the truth.

Dude, I'm just adding to the conversation. Don't really understand your hostility. Someone I KNOW (i.e. not a "friend of a friend") said by chance in a conversation about tennis that he saw her up close. Maybe he only thought he was looking up. Maybe she was wearing 4-inch elevator sneakers. In the conversation, we did agree she was gorgeous and tall. miser says on 10/Dec/08
She doesn't look 6'2" in sneakers or in sandals, only in heels. There was no "footwear advantage" in those pictures... they were on court, both wearing tennis sneakers. And there was no angle problem there as well, in addition to those 2 pictures there was a video of that match and the following award ceremony on youtube that showed them side-to-side for quite a few minutes.
Venus is 6'1" and she is _definitely_ taller than Sharapova. Sharapova is 5'11" to 6'. Anonymous3 says on 10/Dec/08
Sharapova definitely is NOT 6'2. I don't see 6'2 in any photos. How do you explain that? It's a myth folks. It's time to wrap this up. minimum 5'11.5 to 6' for her and max 6'1-6'1.5 maybe. She can't even look 6'1 with that 6'4 guy Murphy Jensen. He had like more than 4.5 inches on her. HE was TOWERING her in the pic I posted below. How do you explain that? The camera angle is extremely close up view already and very straight and level. Even if she had a footwear disadvantage say like .5 inch and if she were 6'2 she would still have to look 6'1.5. She was struggling to get over 6'. 6'2" is a joke. 6'.5-6'1.5 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM dripping wet. I have solid legit 6'2 friends and HONESTLY the difference between a 6'4 and 6'2 person is just slightly about 5cm which is 2/3 of your middle finger maybe. This is why legit 6'2 guys get guessed at 6'3 and 6'4. People are clueless about people who are legit 6'+ Alex says on 10/Dec/08
I am not saying shes 6'2 because I want her to be that tall. She looks it or close to it and thats when shes in sneakers, not even heels! I wouldn't go under 6'1 for her. 5'11-6'0 for her is just too short for her. Venus I do believe is 6'1. Could be in a footwear advantage or something with Maria or some bad angle. miser says on 10/Dec/08
Blackray - These photos are from January of this year, 2008.

An acquaintance of mine said he saw her up-close in '07 at the U.S. Open. His impression was she was TALL. He's 6'3" and he could have sworn he was looking up at her as she walked by. Granted, she was wearing tennis shoes, but he wasn't barefoot, either... Anonymous says on 6/Dec/08
Sharapova is defnitely tallet than Vaidisova & Safina who are both 6 feet even. So that would make sharapova atleast 6'1". maybe she looks taller cos she is so much more skinnier compared to Vaidisova & Safina who are strong broad shouldered beauties Mikez says on 5/Dec/08
Actually Roddick is "only" 6 ft 1/4 I met him at the Aus open in 07 and we were the exact same height. Im 6 and 1/4 also.
I challenge anyone to show me ONE picture The only 2 conditions I ask for is that
1. Footwear and posture can be accounted for in the pic.
2. The person she is standing with is of verified heights (it helps if they are on this site)
Im not a hater, I dont discriminate if someone is short, tall , whatever. If someone is taller than I think listed, Ill be the first to admit. Rather, I am just seeking the truth, which is what the site is ALL about hey? Anonymous3 says on 4/Dec/08

This picture proves it Andy Roddick 6'2, could possibly even shorter than that since everyone in tennis is probably rounded up. Maria is anything but 6'2. 6'3 is a joke so closer to 6' flat. Looks barely 6' if she is wearing high heels with Andy. Anonymous3 says on 4/Dec/08

Why do some sites state her as high as 6'3??? That's madness, I mean some of you stated she could be as low as a weak 6'... It doesn't make sense I mean some of you even posted photos showing her shorter than the 6'1 tennis player guy I forgot his name but yea. I think theres a limit to how much a person's height can be inflated maybe 1 or max 1.5 inches. But as high as 3 inches inflated? Come on maybe in like 5 inch nonplatform heels but seriously is she not tall enough?
I mean I can understand upgrading some woman who is maybe 5 feet raised to maybe 5'2 or 5'3, even that's a big stretch. It's ridiculous, are they going to say she is 6'4 next? It is clearly stated on some sites she is 184cm. Rob I think she definitely needs a downgrade. There is too much evidence against her possibility of being a legit 6'2. So 184cm is probably closer. At least give her a small downgrade for now and then when more evidence presents itself we can either raise her height again or downgrade it further? Just a suggestion. anonymous says on 4/Dec/08
6 foot 2. miser says on 25/Nov/08
These pictures are distorted by their heels, and also the angle. Why would anyone hold these pictures in higher value than the pictures (and the video) of her next to Venus Williams, or the full-body pictures of her next to James Blake and Andy Roddick? In the pics with Venus they were both in tennis snickers, and standing side-to-side. Sharapova is taller than Charlize, but not by 4 inches.
anonnymous - Jesus that is the same picture that was posted before! The angle is distorted and we can't see their feet. Is there any other pic of her next to Davenport(standing side-to-side, preferably)? I would really like to see one if you can find. I have only seen this one:

Those pics of Charlize Theron & maria gets you thinking doesnt it. Now Charlize is easily abt 5'10" and Maria has a good 4" on her. Josh says on 23/Nov/08
6'1 and really hot but not 6'2. the truth says on 22/Nov/08
Sharapova is clearly in the 6'1" to 6'2" range. Enough said. anonnymous says on 21/Nov/08
OK, miser.
Here's picture of Sharapova and Davenport on the court.
So, both of them without high heels.

Another two photos of Maria and Charlize. Charlize didf have an inch heel adavntage, is 5'9.5, so that makes Maria somewhere near 6'2......

"I'v seen pictures of her standing next to Davenport and she didn't look more than 3cm shorter than her which would make her 186cm since Davenport is 189cm."

"I don't know why is it so hard for you to believe that women can be that tall."
Where have I ever said that women can't be that tall? Of course they can, look at Lindsay Davenport. She is 189cm tall. Look at Venus, about 185cm. But this particular woman, Maria Sharapova, is not over 6'. The pictures and the video of her next to Venus Williams clearly demonstrate this.
"I think she is 185-186cm tall, or 6'1-6'1 1/2"."
Lol, OK then... I think you should believe whatever you want to if that helps you in any manner and does not harm anyone (especially me!! ;-) )
Peace sisters! And remember, do GROW TALL! Anonymous says on 21/Nov/08
How tall is the gorgeous Nicole Vaidisova? She beats Sharapova hollow as far as the overall package is concerned tho she is shorter than Sharapova amazon woman says on 20/Nov/08
She is at least 6' 1" tall. My husband goes to get physical therapy from the same place Sharapova does (in Tempe, AZ). He's 6' 3" tall, I'm 6" tall. He stood next to her today and says she's taller than I am. His words were that she was "at least 6' 1" and that was barefoot. anonnymous says on 20/Nov/08
Miser, I see you keep saying the same thing over and over that Sharapova is not over 6 feet tall. Have you ever seen her in real life so that's why you are so true. I'v seen pictures of her standing next to Davenport and she didn't look more than 3cm shorter than her which would make her 186cm since Davenport is 189cm.
She looks 1-2 cm taller than Venus Williams who is 184cm. I don't know why is it so hard for you to believe that women can be that tall. I think she is 185-186cm tall, or 6'1-6'1 1/2". miser says on 19/Nov/08

Check out the 16 yr old US tennis player Coco Vandeweghe, she is 6'1" and 150lbs. She is the daughter of former olympic swimmer & volleyballer Tauna Vandeweghe who is 6'3". Interestingly Tauna Vandeweghe was also 6'1" & 150lbs at the age of 16 when she participated in the Montreal Olympic Games and she grew to 6'3" later. Think the daughter too will follow suit.

Serena is in flats and is maybe 1" shorter than jankovic who is in 3" heels. So in reality serena is 2" taller than Jankovic. Also if u take away dementieva's and ivanovic's heels they would be just as tall as serena, which would put them at 5'10" or 5'11" whichever u thin serena's height is. Only venus and safina are taller than 6 ft in that pic. But I bet serena is the strongest girl in that pic followed by Venus, Kuznetsova, safina, dementieva, ivanovic, jankovic and zvonereva. miser says on 6/Nov/08
Again how can Dinara be 6'1 or more if not even Venus is 6'1? Nonsense. Safina is about 182cm (5-11.5). But she does look "strong". Anonymous says on 6/Nov/08
Thats a really nice pic all of u are talking about, 8 tall strong leggy girls. If u notice Serena, Kuznetsove & Zvonoreva are the only ones in flats. All the rest have similar heels except Venus who has slightly smaller ones. So defnitely venus is the tallest in that group and Zvonoreva is the shortest. Jankovic too looks so tiny standing next to Safina. safina not only looks like she more than 6'1', but she also looks so broad and strong. She was never on the skinny side but this pic proves that she is easily abt 185 lbs miser says on 5/Nov/08
oh maybe she "grew" too? lol RRR says on 4/Nov/08
Dinara Safina changed her height in her website. Now is 6´2´´ (1.88). miser says on 4/Nov/08
this picture is the least deceptive, Massimo:
Click Here
Venus(6-1,185cm) is the tallest, followed by Dinara(182cm), Ivanović(177-180cm?)and Dementieva(177-180cm?). I think Ivanović is slightly taller than Dementieva but I'm not 100% sure, the heels can definitely be a problem in these pictures. Massimo says on 3/Nov/08
Correction-
Now, always in the same site, I have found another picture where
Ana Ivanovic looks taller than Elena Dementieva!
According to this other picture:
Dementieva: 1.80
Ivanovic: 1.82
Serena: 1.75
Jankovic: 1.77
So, go figure! I'm really confused. Pictures are really deceptive sometimes,
a person can look a midget in a picture and a giant in another!
Click Here Massimo says on 3/Nov/08
I am not sure about Maria Sharapova, but in this picture I have just found
Ivanovic looks shorter than Dementieva and Serena Williams clearly shorter than Ivanovic:
Click Here
Venus and Dinara are actually really tall, about 6'1".
My best guess is:
Venus: 6'1"
Dementieva: 1.80
Ivanovic: 1.77
Serena: 1.71
Dinara: 1.85
Of course I am not sure but that's the impression I get watching this
picture. In any case, 6'1" for Ana Ivanovic is ridiculus IMO.
Have a good day everyone! anonymous says on 1/Nov/08
She looks similar in height to davenport miser: Click Here miser says on 29/Oct/08
Please do direct me to at least one website where Venus Williams is listed as 6-2 and Davenport at 6-3. I have never seen Venus listed over 185cm(6-1). Davenport was officially the tallest woman ever to win a grand slam (I suppose they measured her to reach that conclusion) and her height was given as exactly 189cm. That's a hair over 6-2, it is roughly 6-2.

Let's compare Davenport to Venus:

Davenport has at least an inch on Venus. Now let's compare Venus to Maria Sharapova:

Roughly an inch of a difference there as well. Conclusion: Sharapova is about 2 inches shorter than Linsay Davenport who is about 6-2. Maria Sharapova is about six feet tall. The Truth says on 28/Oct/08
Davenport - 6'2-6'3
Williams - 6'1-6'2 miser says on 27/Oct/08
"The Truth"(yeah right):how tall do you think Venus Williams is then? And Davenport? The Truth says on 27/Oct/08
Maria is min 6'1, max 6'2. No way she is 5'11-6ft or over 6'2. miser says on 27/Oct/08
6'1.5 if you wanna be exact? then how come she looked smaller than Venus in January of this year? Not even Venus is 6'1.5, she is about 6-1. Sharapova is 5'11"-6'.
This last "growth spurt" that is mentioned here never happened, that is what you people are failing to see. diana says on 26/Oct/08
also, i believe she did have a growth spurt after her wimbledon win in 2004 when she was only 17 she looked about 5'11-6' range
so any pics of her around 2004 or 2005 ...i don't think are valid. i think she grew about an inch maybe 2 inches since then. it is the only explanation that makes sense when wondering why she is so much shorter than peyton manning and andy roddick at the 2005 espn awards diana says on 26/Oct/08
lol you people are crazy
this girl is at least 6'1, 6'2 might be a stretch
i think she is probably 6'1.5 if you wanna be exact, but she is not 6'4 or 6'5. that's a little crazy. it's just that she wears heels all the time, so its hard to realize that she is shorter because she is already quite tall (for a guy or a girl). unfortunately you have to use your good judgement. she slouches all the time and also when a girl is taller than a guy by like 1 or 2 inches people say that girl "towers over him." So it is hard to believe people's exaggerations. She is def. not 6'4 or 6'5...that's stupid. Anonymous says on 26/Oct/08

Sharapova is really impressive up close, I never seen a woman built like that and this is a New Yorker talking.
She should have some LASER follicle removel on her lower legs. Up close they alway's have a thick black 5 o'clock shadow like a burley sailer.

Andy: do you know what year that picture was from? It is unlikely that a girl would show any noticiable height increase after 18... but well... she is 21 now I think. Is that from more than 4 years ago

The first one is the same skewed picture that was posted before. The second one is even worse, lol. That bald is 5'11"? So judging by this picture I would say Maria is 6'4", lol. Are you happy now? Anonymous says on 20/Oct/08
