Advantages/Disadvantages of being Tall or Short?

Question

in Tennis?

Answer 1

@Guest6566, Gasquet is 6ft1 therefore is not short,

The best range to be a tennis player is between 6ft0-6ft4. Most of the current top10 players are within this range

Nadal 6ft0, Federer 6ft1, Djokovic 6ft2, Murray 6ft3, Soderling 6ft4, Roddick 6ft2, Verdasco 6ft2, Youzhny 6ft0

Ferrer 5ft9, Berdych 6ft5 are the 2 guys within top10 who arent in that range, obviously you can b successful if u aren't in that range, its just less common.

If your too tall (6ft5+) you have movement problems, esp dealing with low shots

If your too short (5ft10 or less) then you serving problems, and creating angles.
