Tennis or basketball?

[christinamaniac7]

nowadays i see tennis is suddenly turning into another tall sport like basketball!
i don't think tennis is all about height ,but we see guys who are just higher than 1 meter 90-95 come to tennis...seems like they think tennis is about hitting consecutive aces!!!
i guess there are tons of players over 6'5"...
ivanisevic,ljubicic,ancic,querry,monfils,karlovic,and now isner???
i honestly don't think it does make any difference if you're 6'0" or 6'10"!!!
see andy roddick with 1 meter 85 has won two taller players who are over 6'9"!!!
any ideas?:grin:

Ideas:
Ljubicic is 6'4'
Monfils is 6'4'
Ivanisevic is 6'4', but he's been retired for 3 years.

To answer your question, I'll give you this little fact:

How many people OVER 6'4' is in the Top100?

Berdych at #10
Karlovic at #34
Ancic at #38
Querrey at #66
Del Potro at #75
Delic at #78
Guccione at #89
Mirnyi at #96

One top10, and the rest, not even Top30.
Height is important, of course, but not THAT important. Tall enough to be a good server without hindering your mobility. 6'1' - 6'2'' seems to be the perfect height for a tennis player
