Not sure about that. The athletes in basketball and football are not just superior, they are much bigger. I don't see the corresponding big boys in Europe playing pro tennis.
Isner and Querrey are among the tallest tennis players, along with Raonic and Karlovic.
I don't know if I am making myself clear - the basketball/football sized athletes are not playing tennis in any country.
