saw him today on the BBC at wimbledon previewing a match alongside henman and John Mcnroe. He looked clearly shorter standing directly beside mcnroe. close to 2 inch difference. 5ft 9,25/9.5 at most there.

What would you say about fellow Aussie Alex de Minaur? Google says 6'0, I would guess somewhere in the range of 5'10-6'0, but under 6'0.

Spot on, Rob.
I'm 5' 9.75" and we were level when I met him at Wimbledon in 2017, with similar footwear.

Hi @Nik. The pic I posted is from the 4th of January of 2003!! It was the final of the 2003 Hopman Cup. Hewitt was 21 years and 11 months old. He was just one month shy of 22. And in the picture he looks noticieable shorter than Serena, almost 5' 8". Maybe it was a bad posture I don't know. But given that it is extremelly unlikely that he was still growing at age almost 22, I would say he is no more than 5' 9" flat. Anything over 5' 9" is too optimistic for him, in my humble opinion.

Lleyton Hewitt is such a height liar. To lie about your height adding yourself 7 cm (like Hewitt does claiming to be 1.81) is both immoral and ridiculous, as it is highly noticieable.
Hewitt is 1.74 flat next to 1.84 Nadal

Rob, I think you could consider the possibility od downgrading Hewitt to 1.74, or 1.75 if 1.74 looks too radical to you.

Maybe slightly exaggerating, however modern tennis players can be very tall. Many seem 6'4'' plus. He may have looked smaller in comparison to some of these players than he actually was.

Slightly above average at best, based on what i've seen of him compared to other players over the years. 5'10 max.

I believe him to be a bit shorter than this listing, though not by much.

He may have claimed tennis shoe height, hence the extra 1.5 inches?

Editor RobI think it was interesting seeing what he claimed, because he looked shorter than say someone like Agassi, who claimed under 5ft 11...yet he claims a bit over it.

Tennis bores me rigid, so I'm not going to rate the players either, especially when they try to add a cheeky one-and-a-half inches to their height!
5ft9.75. 😛

5'10 in shoes. 5'11 is pushing it, he doesn't look like a tall bloke. 5'9 barefoot.

Hewitt - a solid 5'9, 5'11 is laughable.

Yeah he never looked 5'11". He looks very short on the court but then again when he plays a lot of guys who are 6'2"-6'5" he is going to look short.

Guys, Lleyton Hewitt really is maximum 5'9.5 (177cm) as the BBC put. Check out this link: Click Here
He is standing next to Alicia Molik, who is 182cm tall. And she towers him.

nadal is 6'1 so is federer,hewitt is 5'11, my favourite players are novak djoovic and andy murray tho, they are phenoms and will have best careers,no one will touch them in next 5 years, djokovic and murray the best.

Actually yeah, he could be 5'10" like I can't really tell...when someone is over 2 inches taller than me, unless I have my dad with me or someone taller. I just think from pictures he looks 177cm, but from meeting him I know he's not 5'11", b/c my brother is 5'11", maybe a bit over I dunno he's growing, and he was farther away height-wise than Hewitt. So Hewitt is 5'9.5" or maybe 5'10". Because he seems not that much taller than Kim Clijsters...

yehh i have to agree , i asked my dad , and even he said straight away that hewitt is around 5'10" , so i think rob you can knock him down to 5'10" now , and if even the BBC website has him at 5'9.5" 177cm. so its time.

Hewitt's height as well as that of all tennis players is listed with sneakers on. Shoe less he should be 5 ft 10in, with luck!

I got his autograph in Paris a few years ago and he is not quite 5'11, I'm a solid six and Hewitt was def 2 inches shorter. We were both wearing tennis sneakers b.t.w.
Also, I think Federer is more like 6ft, he looks a solid 4 inches shorter than Safin on their pics.

I've stood next to Hewitt in the Sydney master's cup and he's around 177-178cm. Roddick on the other hand is really nearly 6 2".

Interesting because Hewitt really does look 5'11" next to Federer, and Federer looks like a dwarf next to Safin in these pics. Yet Federer in person, really did seem about 6'1" and his official listing says 186 cm. I think we should get a Federer listing on here! Sports heights are truely just as interesting as celebs!

I really think Andy is a very strong 6'2", and I'm really surprised at how tall Henman looks! He looks like he could definately be over 6'1", I've met a few of these guys and I can definately say that Safin is 6'4". Carlos Moya isn't quite looking the 6'3" he gets listed at there, with tennis players it's really hit and miss, some guys are more accurately listed than others. While we're on the topic of Hewitt, in that shot he looks 5'10" at best, he's atleast 4 inches shorter than Roddick whom I think is taller than the 187 cm that he gets listed at. Having met 185-186 cm Federer, I can definatley say the he looks more than 1 cm shorter than Roddick. Also, Canas looks a solid 6'1" as well.

Haha rounding up man. He is more than slightly under that. Look at his shoes and compare then to Corias shoes. In reality he is maybe a few cms taller than 5'9''(just a listed height) Guillermo Coria...in BBC website Hewitt is listed 177 cm and I think that is his real height. Tennis players who are shorter than six feet tend to add a few extra inches to their heights for instance Sebastian Grosjean is sometimes listed 5'9'' eventhough his "official" height is 5'8''...
