Hey everyone. For sure Maria is tall but she is also pretty beautiful :)
So we dont care about it ;)

Jankovic is 5'9", so that would make Safina 6 ft even. Dementieva is listed at 5'11" but in most of the pics she appears to be atleast 6 ft even. Guess she suffers from the 6 foot syndrome that most girls have. Even tho they are 6 ft or taller they claim to be 5'11"

Bud says on 28/Jul/08
Dementieva and Safina also understate their true height. Both are easily 6'. When Safina played Jankovic (5'10), she was a good 3" taller when they shook hands after the match.

Claire , how much taller u get, depends on how tall your mom & dad are. Usually girls get to half way betwn their parents. Unless you are lucky liek Maria Sharapova who just towers over both her parents. By the wa believe Sharapova was only 5'3" at age 13

carol says on 25/Jul/08
does not seem 8cms bigger than dementieva(1.80), neighter 5cms than ivanovic(1.83). there's even one pic in which she seems 5cms max bigger than mischa barton(1.75)...., maria is 1.85 max

claire, 5'9'' is tall enough for a girl. You shud be happy at the height u are. being a tall woman isnt a gd thing. My gf is 6ft nd gets looks evrywhere she goes. Its hard

Joe, u must be joking, maria built like a football player, no way man. She mite be tall at 6'2"-6'3", but defnitely not built like a football player. She has very broad shoulders but very lanky , not muscular at all.

Bud says on 12/Jul/08
Ian - This has been repeated over and over again... Roddick was being a character and was on his tip-toes in that picture because he didn't want to appear shorter than Sharapova. Look at his face in the pic... it's obvious. In addition, Maria was still growing upward in 2005.

Joe says on 11/Jul/08
She was at the Talkhouse (Amagansett) last night OMG She's built like a football player. No doubt 6'2-6'3 was bigger then the bouncer !!
Looks to "posh and euro-trashy" IMO...stuck out like a sore thumb

Maria is no taller than 1.85m. I'm 1.90m, and when I met her at the US Open last year I was expecting her to be almost the same height as me, but I was easily 2 inches taller.

Could she really be 6'2? In this pic with 5'7.75 Camilla Belle (although she could be a proper 5'8) she doesn't look like 6'2 She looks 6'1 at the most, she could be as low as 6'0.25, but just to be more reasonable I'll give her 6'1.
Click Here

Now this is how I think she should look if she was 6'2 (even considering she's flexing one leg a bit, we don't know if Camille is bending or flexing, besides I don't think it affects her posture really) Camille should be a bit below the tip of her nose:

And if Camille was a proper 173 cm on the line she should reach just the tip of Sharapova's nose about like this:

A lot of female tennis players are super tall nowadays. Even Indians!
Watch out for Poojashree Venkatesh, she's 17 and 6 foot 1, very very tall for an Indian teenage girl.
She played in Roland Garros junior qualifiers.

Randy! Look at their shoes! Maria is in really big heals, maybe 2 inches bigger heels than Venus´s ones. I think Maria is like 186 cm, Venus 187 (yes, and she all the time wears flats or very small heals), Ana must be 184-185 cm. Maria is a very beautiful girl!

Randy says on 20/Jun/08
New Pics from yesterday with Ana Ivanovic, Serena & Venus Williams. Venus is a little bit taller than Ana and Maria is taller than Venus, so Ana is 6'0, Venus 6'1 and Maria 6'2. BTW Serena is a dwarf at 5'9.

There u go RRR posted some nice pics. Safina is max 6'0, which makes Ana Ivanovic 5'10.5, and Sharapova is 6'1 at the absolutest max. Although, even that looks like a stretch judging from those pics.

Ana Ivanovic is a liar when she said is 6´1 (1.85). In the pic next to Safina who is 5´11 1/2 (1.82) and Safina is taller Ana. And Safina with Elena Dementieva who is 5´11 (1.80) and Safina is taller also.

With 5-11 Karin Knapp. I'd say between 6-1 and 6-2 with shoes on. No more than 6-1 barefoot.

Joe says on 7/Jun/08
Dinara safina was 2 inches taller than Ivanovic after the final it was clear to see. Ivanovic is 5'11 at best and Sharapova is same height as Safina if you look properly. Safina plays down her height but is in actual fact 6'1" at least. I remember an interview with Marat and his sister when she was 14. The interviewer commented how short she is and has a lot of growing to do. She was barely above Marat's chest 4'10" probably.
2 Years later she was playing Serena and I couldn't recognise her she had grown over a foot in 2 years. She dwarfed Serena.

germanguy says on 5/Jun/08
i think she is between 6'1 and 6'2 never taller than that i am 6'3 and meet justin henin and i talked to her about steffi graf her idol and asked her how tall she is and she said 5'3 is her real height and 5'5 is the offical height she said on the wta tour everyone is lying about the height and no one cares one ft more or two and no body is making themself shorter so when you are ecatly she is not 6'2 but when not no one cares because just a few people are exactly and sharapova is lying to i saw her on the french open after her suspended game against malek in flip flops she wnt out the stadion and it rained it was warm enough and i think she is 1 inch and a half or more less shorter than me gael is pretty much the same height as me but he says he is 6'4 the point she is tall and sexy perfect feet legs ass and face so we should talk about that

ironmike says on 4/Jun/08
i agree on everything but ivanovic being 6'1, she just doesn't look like that, she must be 6 foot no more,cuz there are pics with hantuchova,who is 5'11.25(1,81m), side by side and she is just a very little bit taller not 4-5 centimeter diference.

Hey Rob, is it really that hard get a shot of Ms. Sharapova? I just thought I'd ask cause I'm still seeing the same "6'3 at least" "6'0 tops" comments that have been filling up this page for the last two years lol.

Anonymous says on 3/Jun/08
If any of you people saw the match betwn Dinara Safina & Sharapova even, you would have seen that Sharapova was easily 2"-3" taller than Safina who is 6ft even. That would put Sharapova at 6'3". It was a good match for tall girl lovers. Tho Safina is shorter, she is so much more muscular then Sharapova. Safina shud be abt 175 lbs wheras the twig like Sharapova must be 150lbs

Sorry if this pic (Aus Open 2008) had ever been posted. But it shows Sharapova is comfortably taller than Ivanovic. Now Ivanovic's height is 6-1, as she said in an interview.

When she won Wimbledon at 17 (2004), she was 6'-0" tall. She was quite a bit taller than Serena. It's too bad she grew so much after that tournament. She looked great and moved wonderfully at Wimbledon, that year. I think those extra couple inches hindered her for a few years. It definitely slowed her movement down. She's finally 'grown into' her larger body. Easily 6'2, she is now.

schmadrian says on 1/Jun/08
So Ana Ivanovic is 6'!". Nobody seems to dispute this.

At the end of the Australian Open Final match, you can see them side-by-each, Ana and Ms. Sharapova. And clearly, there's at least an inch difference.

So. To all those naysayers out there, are you then saying that Ana Ivanovic is *not* as tall as everyone says she is...?

Alex says on 31/May/08
Marie is easily over 6'0. Shes minimum 6'1-6'1 1/2 but I'd say she looks 6'2 though.

Eagle eye says on 31/May/08
No way Maria is under 6-0. In the net meeting after the Roland Garros match against 5-11 Karin Knapp, she was clearly taller by good margin. I'd say she's between 6-2 and 6-3.

This is the link to the said video.

Haven't been on here in a while, wanted a laugh, thought I'd indulge myself.

I think it's hilarious all the talk about growth hormones, trying to 'explain' her height.... Good Lord. If I heard this talk in public, I'm sure I'd laugh up a storm.

There are two very interesting photos posted recently, each conflicting the other. The first is the one with Payton Manning, the other with Dominika Cibulkova. In the latter, she's clearly somewhere around a foot taller than Cibulkova, who's listed everywhere as 5'3.5". In the former? Well, heels being equal, Manning appears a good five inches taller.

Try to reconcile the two photos. If anything, Cibulkova is going to be standing as tall as she can. And their shoes *should* be equal. So at the very least, this makes Ms Sharapova 6'2". The other shot? This height plus 3" for heels makes her 6'5"...which makes Manning ALMOST SEVEN FEET TALL!

LOL

The Letterman Show appearance... Wow. She IS an Amazon.

She should pick a charity, then auction off an accurate measuring. Surely some philanthropist out there can offer some relief to the non-believers on this site, and allow them to get back to more important debates...like 'Which way do you roll the toilet paper?'

Wallace says on 31/May/08
Lauren, even if you are really 6'6" Sharapova wouldn't be near your shoulder....her head would at least reach your nose. And why is that sad? Sharapova is beautiful, rich, tall (even if you are taller) and a great tennis player. If you're gonna make such statements you have to provide a picture where you dwarf her otherwise anyone can make whatever claims they please.

hs2008 says on 30/May/08
Yeah, Sharapova absolutely towered Rodina. Also, looking at pics of her with Ana Ivanovic at the Aussie Open earlier this year, she has a comfortable 2" on her and Ivanovic claims 6'1". For me Sharapova is no less than legit 6'2".

Anonymous says on 30/May/08
Couple of days ago Maria met another russian named Rodina who is listed at only 5'4". When they shook hands at the net Maria was head & shoulders taller than Rodina. Assuming that the neck is 4" and the head 8" (both on the minimum side) that would make Maria a whole foot taller than the 5'4" Rodina. With all this it gets even more confusing, cos Maria shud be 6'4" in the least.

"In my opinion, Maria Sharapova is at best, 6'. In a picture with James Blake, Andy Roddick, and another female player, Maria Sharapova appears to be at least half an inch shorter than James Blake. (Click Here) "
if you look carefully, you'll notice that shrapova is trying to look smaller by putting her weight in one leg and by slouching, on the other hand roddick, probably intimidated by maria, has a military posture with legs together. So the pic is inconclusive, but you have to add at least 1 inch to Maria b/c of her posture. No way Sharapova is under 6', but she may be 6'1.5..

red says on 27/May/08
there is a pic on the web, you can easly find it just using google, with blake, sharapova, roddick and another player all close to the net, after a match.
well, if blake is not 6.3, she's 100% not 6.2, and blake is NOT 6.3 but 6.1 (max)
I would say she's 6.0

naomi says on 27/May/08
maria sharapova is 21 now and 6'2, she has been with djokovic a lot, both are class players and hot also,the hottest females are sharapova, ivanovic and kirilenko and for the males i have tons roddick, safin, novak djokovic,mario ancic and evgeny korolev they are all hot.

Anonymous says on 24/May/08
There is no doubt in my mind that Sharapova is easily between 6'2" & 6'3". The weight they have mentioned for her tho is ridiculous, no way is she just 130lbs as mentioned. Just take a look at her now in some pics leading upto the french Open, she has put on some muscle on those broad shoulders and her legs too look strong and sexy. She must be in the region of 160-170 now

Marc says on 22/May/08
Serena is closer to 5'8" than 5'10". Consequently, this puts Maria Sharapova's height in the range I earlier proposed.

diana says on 22/May/08
i dunno i really think she's 6'2. i also think she doesn't like being her height and tends to slouch a hell of a lot, which is too bad cause her height is a major advantage. When you find pictures of her next to serena williams she usually stands up straight and you see that she is a solid 4 inches taller.

Jason says on 19/May/08

Personally through out school teachers have been telling me that you grow more rapidly from 13 to 20 or 21, and i agree to that... but my dads arguement is they are either taking growth hormones or some shots to enhance height (not steriods)...
if you got any ideas... reply.

Marc says on 18/May/08
In my opinion, Maria Sharapova is at best, 6'. In a picture with James Blake, Andy Roddick, and another female player, Maria Sharapova appears to be at least half an inch shorter than James Blake. (Click Here)

According to the ATP James Blake is listed at 6'1" and Andy Roddick as 6'2". Yet, James Blake appears to be at least 2 inches shorter than Andy Roddick. As a result, the ATP recorded heights are not in equilibrium with one another.

Fortunately, we are able to introduce a calibrating height, Terrell Owens. With a verifiable NFL Combine height of 6'2 3/4", Terrell Owens is at least 2 inches taller than Andy Roddick(picture on Click Here).

So on balance, I believe that Andy Roddick is not the 6'2" he is listed by the ATP but but more like 6' 3/4". Consequently, making James Blake more like 5' 11" and Maria Sharapova anywhere from 5'11" to 6'.

There are obviously taller girls than Sharapova. Trust me. I'm a 6'6" volleyball/tennis player.

Where she had a major growth spurt at 14, i had it at 15 and just kept on going up!

The difference is, i ate and still eat only foods with 100% vitamin C. Like, i won't eat anything that doesn't have 100% vitamin c. That stuff makes you grow tall!

And it's kind of cute when little guys try and hook up to you and then automatically assume you're a volleyball player or tennis player.

Seriously, I met Maria Sharapova at this expo, and i thought she was going to be really tall, but her head was, like, near my shoulder. It was kind of sad.

Sharapova isnt the only tennis playing Russian 6 footer around. Take a look at Dinara Safina who just won the German Open who also happens to be Marat Safin's younger sister. She is listed at 6 ft and 154lbs and looks to be atleast 6'1" and 180 lbs.

Jake Is Back says on 8/May/08
According to Rob, she was 6' by 2004 and grew more in 2005 (when the pic with Manning was taken). Keep in mind she likely even has a slight footware advantage with Manning.

Maria should be abt 165lbs now, the 130 they have on for her is ridiculous. Her already broad skinny shoulders appear pretty muscular now. The best part of her tho are her neverending legs

i saw a picture of her recently, her features had become much more masculine, there is even a "beard shade" on her face, for me there is no doubt she has taken hormones, the only doubt is wether she starting taking them before or after her age majority or if it she even knew about it.

I'm pretty sure Dave is still over 6' (I think he's gotten shorter) nobody actually see's him on the street he has a secret tunnel to a parking garage.
He doesnt hang out with the stagehands, stays in his office stinking up the room with cigars.
I cant say for sure on the height, keep in mind the ultra wide lenses on those cameras can rally fool ya.
The hard studio cameras themselves never capture below 7 feet, the monitors are above eye level at the rear BOTTOM the camera. You look "up" into them and the capture lens is actually higher.
Daves stage at the desk area is barly 7 steps deep it looks huge on TV.
Count Daves entry steps at the beginning of the show.

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.

Natalie says on 25/Apr/08
i met maria in 2005 at wimbledon, i was 13 and 5ft 9 at the time, and she looked about 4 inches taller than me, so i say she is about 6ft 1 and half tall, i'm 16 now and i'm 6ft 2.5 inches tall!

OK Finally !
Im a tech here in NYC she was at the Ed Sullivan theatre (Letterman) hitting balls in here tennis sneakers.
I'm 6'3, met here she was right next to me she's just above 6'2.
I didnt want to ask (we spoke about about live music and Kareoke) besides im sure she gets hassled about her height all the time.
But I did ask one of her girlfriends.
Turns out many of these Russians and European Tennis players constantly tour the rest of the world really dont understand or keep up with the "inches and feet" conversions ....they go by Metric System.
Another words shes really not sure herself.
She's really looks huge and very hot in platform shoes BTW.
Amazing !!

Wilt Chamberlain's parents were both 5'9 or under, and I'm sure he didn't take steroids. Freaks of nature happen. Who knows how good Maria's parent's nutrition was growing up. Maybe they could have been 2-3 inches taller if they grew up in the US. I'm 6'6" and my parents were 6'2" and 5'8 1/2". But my dad had a great uncle who was 6'5" which 100 years ago was huge and my mom's mom was 5'10" which also was pretty big for a woman 80 years ago. So it does skip generations. I have a niece who's 6'2" like Maria and her parents are 6'3 and 5'7 1/2". I rest my case.

Totally agree with Alex Ivanov. Sharapova was given some kind of roids or something. Girls who are 5'3 when they're 13/14 do not end up being 6'2--just does not happen. Most girls i know stopped growing when they were 14ish. and the ones that did grow probably only added two or three inches max in their mid and late teens. the most extreme example i can think of is i think i had one friend who was about 5'4 when she was around 14 and ended up being about 5'7 1/2 before she stoppend growing around 18.

if djokovic is 6'2 then Maria is 6'3 based on that picture

Anonymous says on 16/Mar/08
Stu, nothing loads when I click on your link. Since Djokovic is listed as 6'2" on the MSN/Foxsports website, presumably Maria is on the same level. I just am intrigued by her late growth spurt which resulted in her passing me up, but believe it can happen.

John says on 16/Mar/08
well, she is taller than me and i im 6"2 and weigh 300 lbs(weightlifter)

Truthfinder says on 11/Mar/08
I don't find it unnatural that a 6'2" woman has a 5'6" mother and a 5'10" father. I spoke to a woman several years ago who was 6'2 and a half and took a size 10 shoe (UK). She said her father was 5'9" and her mother 5'4". She was average to well-built and in proportion. I spoke to a woman in 1999 who was 6'6". She had a 5'11" father and a 5'7" mother, and her younger sister was 5'4". Perhaps Maria, as with these other two women, could have been throw-backs to some tall ancestor they had.

moni says on 10/Mar/08
she's 6'2..whats the problem. why is there so much disbelief.."no way" 6+ tops! OK, girls can grow over 6 feet if u don't know.

Bud says on 10/Mar/08
To address Alex's comment... a friend of mine had parents - Dad 5'6, Mom 5'4 (both on the stocky/plump side). They were wealthy and kept him busy with tennis and other sports. They also fed him close to 20 vitamins at each meal (which I thought was excessive). He ended up to be 6'2. So, I think if you feed 'em well and keep 'em exercised, they will definitely end up at their peak potential height.

anonymous says on 5/Mar/08
who claimed it was a crime? But to get back to how tall she is, she does truly look 6`2 most of the time. Photo evidence would place her at 6`1-2. I would go with 6`2.

diana says on 5/Mar/08
she isn't skinny
don't believe anything that says she's 130 pounds because she would be dead if she weighed that much
she is proportional actually or i wouldn't have been in disbelief when I found out she was 6'2 because i thought she was 5'9/10
a lot of people here are still in disbelief that there is a tall girl
there are 7 foot tall guys and no one cares.
she is a strong, tall girl. why is that such a crime?

Anonymous says on 4/Mar/08
Yeah, with a 5'6" mother and 5'10" father a girl would usually end up being 5'8" and in some very rare cases if the mother's brothers are tall, she mite end up being only slightly taller than her father, in Sharapova's case maybe 5'11" or 6ft max. But 6'2" froma 5'6" mother and 5'10" father is unnatural. Maybe that is why she is so skinny, if it was natural, her body too would have developed proportionally with her height.

Alex Ivanov says on 4/Mar/08
You people have to understand something. Sharapova's mother and father are like 5'6 and 5'10 respectively. The odds of parents of such average height having a daughter who is natural 6'2 are VERY VERY low. It's statistcally the same as if they had a boy and he grew to 6'8. I'd say that the chances are like 99 percent that Maria was given some type of hormones as a teenager that caused her to grow so tall, and only 1 percent that her height is a freak of nature.

Johan says on 4/Mar/08

I don't think she used HGH or Steroids, just a late bloomer. She is between 6'1 and 6'2 period

Antron is rite, girls/women on steroids look much more bulkier and muscular than sharapova is.

Antron says on 14/Feb/08
Joe you think she's on steroids? have you seen what women who take steroids look like? Not exactly the long willowy body that Maria has.
Also I think you are confusing steroids with HGH. Theoretically extra HGH if taken young enough could get you an extra inch or two. I suppose that could be the case, but I very much doubt it, there is nothing to suggest it.

Joe says on 10/Feb/08
I think she is 6.2 or 188 cm tall. Every picture leads to this conclusion. She probably grown so tall in older age due to the use of anabolyc steroids. For Vegas I watched Tyra Banks walking just next to me. With heels she is 6.3. But with high heels.

Vegas says on 9/Feb/08
Roe; please read this document editor Rob spent time writing and researching, as rob says there a 4.5 inch heel will only give about 3 inches over barefoot Click Here

i would like to know what you estimate tyra banks' heels here if you think sharapova is wearing 4 inchers, banks must be wearing 8-9 inch heels at least so Click Here

xyzblast; i have seen roddick listed at 6'1 in numerous places

Roe says on 8/Feb/08
In that full body pic, she clearly has on "platform" heels, which are clearly 3-4 inches.Definitely not 2-2.5 I own several pair myself. So I'd put her at 6'1.

xyzblast says on 8/Feb/08
Anonymous, I counted Wade as 6'3.75" barefoot. I was also generous on her heels and gave it the absolute minimum. You can clearly see he is still an inch taller than her if he stand straight. Well, they also say that Hewitt is 5'11 and Roddick is 6'3, but they aren't even close to those heights. I mean Roddick was struggling with 6'4 Safin and 6'1 Henman. Some players however are accurately described such as Djokovic, who really is legit 6'2."

Anonymous says on 8/Feb/08
xyzblast: Wade's 6'3.75 is barefoot, you can add another inch for formal shoes...

I personally think Sharapova is a solid 6'2 barefoot. Tennis commentators all have this opinion also, although as someone said John McEnroe puts her at 6'3, which is probably an exaggeration.

Gramps says on 7/Feb/08
6'1.25" is ridiculous! She's at LEAST 6'1.75" and most likely an even 6'2". I think there were too many variables in xyzblast's calculations!

xyzblast says on 6/Feb/08
No, she still doesn't make it to 6'2 even with Wade. Here is how: Wade is 6'3.75" and he looks inch taller than her if he stand straight. And Sharapova has 1.5 inch footwear advantage(2.5-1). So she is total 2.5 inch less than 6'3.75" Wade, making her 6'1.25."

Vegas says on 6/Feb/08
those who pinned sharapova at 6'2 will find nothing shocking, those who pinned her at 6'0-6'1 barefoot may do e.g anonymoose, Anonymous on 3/Feb/08 who claimed 183cm or Mikez who says she looked 5'11ish in person

yes the dude in the photo was measured at 6'3.75" without shoes at the 2003 NBA draft (fifth name down), he also has a huge 6'11 wingspan Click Here the nba rounded him up to 6'4 Click Here here he is standing next to 6'6 nba listed kobe bryant Click Here

Lebensdorf says on 6/Feb/08
She is wearing three-inch heels, which put her at 6'5''. If that guy is 6'5'' in shoes and she is 6'5'' in shoes, then, yes, they would match up in height when they are both wearing shoes. What's so shocking?

Vegas says on 5/Feb/08
this photo is going to shock a few here, especially those claiming 6'0-6'1 for Sharapova

maria and 6'3.75" barefoot measured dwayne wade of the miami heat in the nba. Wade is ~6'5 in shoes and maria matches up perfectly with him Click Here

her heels, certainly not 4 or 5 inchers, they look 3 inch heels max, more likely 2.5 inches though, now unless wade is barefoot sharapova looks 6'2 there Click Here

Can sum1 tell me why tennis players are so tall??? I mean look at all the girls they r really very tall

P.S. Maria is 6"0.5-6"1 not the 6"2 they bill her at

Boogey says on 3/Feb/08
Joe - When that picture first surfaced last year, a lot of people believed the models in that picture were even taller than Maria. However I beg to differ. The models are tall yes, but Maria is as at least as tall as the tallest of them - the girl standing immediately to her right. If you look closely at the photo in a decent resolution, you can see that Maria's crouching slightly and her knees are bent (difficult to see as she is wearing dark pants against a dark background), and appears to also be leaning back slightly. As a result she is somewhat reducing her own height by a few inches.
If she were to stand up fully straight I think she would be as tall or even slightly taller than the tallest model.

Also, the shortest model on the far left of the picture is 5'9 (her name is something like Mia Sharone or something similar), and she would be dwarfed much more than she already is if the tall model was 6'3+ (an assumption if she were to be taller than Maria).

The photo also lends credence to Maria being around the 6'2 mark if the shortest model is 5'9, because even with Maria's bent knees and the camera perspective favouring the model by her being closer, Maria is still slightly taller in the picture.

maria sharapova at 6`3?! That seems a little excessive. i mean, 6`3 would mean that she is 1 inch taller than Andy Roddick, when they usually seem to be near the same height.

OutBenchThis says on 27/Jan/08
The photo of Sharapova next to Ana Ivanovic (whom has stated 182 cm as her height and not the 6 foot and 6'1" she has been listed) definately confirms Sharapova isn't the 6'2.5"-6'3" that many have said. She's no bigger than two inches taller than Ana side by side in the Aus Open putting her at the most, 187 cm(6'1.5"). There's other photos of her next to Federer which would also confirm this.

Steve says on 27/Jan/08
Maria is a straight 6'2 barefoot. No more, no less. Tennis organisations dont exaggerate player heights. This isnt the WWE. They have no reason or benefit in saying a player is taller than they are.

glenn says on 26/Jan/08
she is at least 6-3.my friends met her.

Maria is definately 6'3. She looked about two inches taller than Ana who i think is more lik 6'1.5.

If Ana is really 6'1 (on her website there is written 186, why should she lie about her height?) Maria is no less than 190, maybe 191.

Ana is actually 6'0. Venus is taller than her.

Randy says on 26/Jan/08
Look at the photos from the Australian Open Final. Maria is like 2 inches taller than Ana Ivanovic and if Ana is 6'1(185cm) Maria is about 6'3 (190cm). Maria looks also bigger than Ana, who official weight is 160lbs (73kg), so Maria must be around 170 - 180lbs (77 - 80kg).

Stu's photo from december 10th says it all to me. Maria is the closest to the camera in the picture, and is shorter than james blake because of a bit of a slouch. given that i see almost 2 inches between him and roddick, i see both blake and sharapova at 6'0-6'.5, and roddick at 6'2. she is listed on the wta site as 6'2, but they also claim she's 130 lbs. not likely. to me if they didn't take her weight, they probably didn't take her height.

australian open website imo has her correct height. 6', 183-184 cm.

Come on guys she is significantly taller than 6'0. I live in Fort Lauderdale and I saw her last year in the ladies room in Miami Airport - I was standing about 5'10 (in 2" heels) and she was towering over me in her boots. One other thing I can tell you about Maria Sharapova that's not generally known to the public is that the girl can take a very nasty crap, she went into a stall, locked the door and just started letting it rip, it was like the scene with Jeff Daniels in "Dumb and Dumber". Oh my gosh it stunk! I guess an athletic girl of that size has to eat a lot to maintain her metabolism. Anyway the point is she's a very tall girl, absolutely not less than 6'2, I know 6'0 when I see and Maria is taller than that.

Mikez says on 22/Jan/08
Yes Rob you are right its very hard...my friend was impatient and I couldnt wait until she came to courtside or left the court. But I know enough to see she isnt 6ft 2..whether or not she is 5'11.5, or 6'0.5 I cant say for certain. But I can almost bet my money she is NOT 6'2. Even today when interviewed with 5'9-10 Todd Woodbridge she was 2 inch taller.

Was Just at the Aus open yesterday, was about 20 feet from sharapova on the practice courts outside...shes no where near 6'2...even my asian friend agreed with me. When I stood up on the level surface of the court (which is about 3 inches off the ground), she was a shade shorter than me at 183cm.

She was standing next to 6'1" Jim Courier being interviewed after her 2nd round win over Davenport in the Aus Open and appeared the same height, if not a little smaller. I'd say she's 6'1"-6'1.5". Most likely 186cm

Here is the start of the US Open final. Check out 5.04 minutes into the video and Maria's height is put up as 6'3. I'm assuming she would have been measured for this? It's no typo either, the commentators call her 6'3 numerous times in the match.

yes, i agree with Lucian-Ro, in my case i grew till the age of 21,being a girl that was little strange. i have grown to 6'8" tall girl and my mom is just 5'0" and dad is 5'3".My elder sister who is 4 years elder than me is just 5'2".I dont konw how i grew so much. I always had been the tallest girl in my class. I crossed my father and mother's height at the age of 13.At that time i was taller than my elder sister,in fact i was 5'7 and my sister was 5'2". But suddenly my height grew by more than one foot in next 6 years. My sister who used to come till my ear now just manages to reach my breast with heels,and with me having heels on she just reaches till my naval.I feel like a giantess with almost everyone. i can dwarf even Maria, and i remember standing on one occassion with Uma thurman, when she told me that she was for the first time feeling very short with any woman. She just managed to reach my chin.

yes ... GSP you're right ... you never know .. but the fact that my own father had grown even at 20 years old could increase my chances ? ...

I read the previous comments about maria's growth and i've seen other's about kevin costner, matthew lewis wesley snipes and dennis rodman, And remained very suprised because they had a late growth , so i had asked my father the age that he stopped growing and to my surprise he said that he grew several centimetres between 19 and 20.5 years.
May that mean that i will have a late growth to??? ... because I'm 17.5 years old and only 5ft 7.75 when i go to sleep and 5ft 8.5 when i wake up ... though and i'm half an inch taller than my father ... please give me an answer ..

Regarding the comparison with Ana Ivanovic, there's aquote from her website:

Question: What's your actually height? You’re very tall, thanks. I’m a Spanish fan about you. Kisses
The last time I measured myself I was six foot and one inch. But I think I am still growing a little bit!

So, it's not surpising she looks the same height as Maria.

Bud says on 3/Jan/08
I stood near MS at the Acura in 07. I stand about 6'1 1/2" in boots (actually do ride a motorcycle!). I specifically measured myself in the footwear I'd be wearing when standing near her. She was taller than me by at LEAST an inch in tennis shoes. Not only is she tall, she's very broad. She's easily 6'2, barefoot. You unbelievers will believe when you're standing next to her.

FINALLY , FINALLY I have the proof I need after months of being called an idiot, moron, delusional, etc. I have stood by my 5'11 to 6'0 for Maria for AGES now and only ONE PERSON ever believed me. STU on dec 10 posted the best picture with conclusive proof. She is no where near 6'2! Roddick, who is a solid 6ft (which is not debatable as I met him at the Aus open and had 2 people confirm I was even with him) is clearly taller than Maria there and if Maria had the best posture in the world, at least not SHORTER than her by any means. They measure a lot of them in shoes, which is how they got Roddicks 6'2 listing. This is over, not debatable. I dont care what Maria calls herself in interviews..all of a sudden no one can lie about their height? thats what this site exists for!

Akgul Amanmuradova is 6'4" and an amazon in every sense, but she doesnt look feminine like Maria, Lindsay or Elena Bovina. But ur rite she is the talllest WTA player

Amanmuradova is in the 6'5",6'6" range.I have seen her and i can confirm that

As far as I know Amanmuradova is THE tallest, then you have Lindsay Davenport and Elena Bovina at 6' 2.5"

Does anyone know who the tallest player is on the WTA tour? If Amanmuradova is described as "one of the tallest players on the WTA tour" and she is 6'3" then who is taller?

Maria not only towers over Ellen, but also makes Ellen look like sall kid. Her shoulders are so broad when compared to Ellen's. Would love to see some curves on her though cos she is nto at all curvy, very androgenous

Yep. Maris confirms her height about 6'2. then she says she is wearing s inch heels and is standing 6'5 in them.

I think her "team" gave her HGH too. Her rapid growth spurt is fascinating! She has big hands, feet and broad shoulders...When I first saw her, I never though she would grow so big!

In Maria's own words "about 6'2"

Worth watching to see how much she dwarfs Ellen Degeneres (5'7).

Lock, maybe but she probably just had a huge growth spurt. Yes, most girls stop or slow down a lot by 14-15 but some continue to grow. Some even stop at 13-14.
Also Mandy Moore is another one who went from 5'0 to 5'9-5'10 in a year I read.

Okay fair enough Jason but when I found out she was only 5'3" in 2001 and grew so tall so sudden and still kept growing a decent amount into her adulthood you start wonder 'what is that girl on?' lol
Most girls stop growing around 14~16 and anyway just generally speaking I guess one would NEVER imagine that some girl who was 5'3" at the age of 13 who grow to be over 6'2", it's quite bizzare.

there is no doubt in my mind that sharapova is 6'2". Who is the other girl in the sharapova/blake/roddick pic, she to looks like she is as tall as sharapova.
