actually Agassi seems to be very,very close to 5ft11. And not in his dreams.
I bet you money that he's 5' 9'

It is kind of hard to judge someone's height visually. Especially when it comes to celebrities. I would say the normal/tall ones (5' 11 or above) don't inflat their heights but the short ones do.
Roddick taller than the 6'1 he was listed for many years,.....
It's interesting that the two greatest players of recent times are virtual doppelgangers. Pete and Fed are about the same height and weight. (And both right-handed. Similar games. Identical down to racquet and clothing endorsements!)
Late 70s, top men Mac, Connors, and Borg were 5'10, 5'11. Seems like it wasn't until Lendl, Becker, Edberg, etc. that the highest-ranked guys were over 6'0".
Always been a handful of very tall or very short players. But their success has been limited. The dimensions of the court appear to favor a particular range in height and its associated mobility/reach/etc. I suppose this could change with dramatic changes in say, equipment.
5'7 is 174cm, right?
Laver, Fed, and Sampras all celebrate bdays within days of each other. Pretty cool, as they're the three most touted as GOAT....and, in addition, both were born in August (and are Leos), exactly a decade apart-Sampras in '71 and Federer in '81. Fed may actually the first person to be reincarnated from another person who IS STILL ALIVE!
