I think it was interesting seeing what he claimed, because he looked shorter than say someone like Agassi, who claimed under 5ft 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.
And she towers him. I think he is now 6'1. So Hewitt is 5'9. Because he seems not that much taller than Kim Clijsters I got his autograph even though I don't really like him I would say he is 5'10 on the nose. Shoe less he should be 5 ft 10in, with luck! We were both wearing tennis sneakers b.
Also, I think Federer is more like 6ft, he looks a solid 4 inches shorter than Safin on their pics. Roddick on the other hand is really nearly 6 2". Yet Federer in person, really did seem about 6'1" and his official listing says cm. I think we should get a Federer listing on here!
Sports heights are truely just as interesting as celebs! 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 cm that he gets listed at.
Having met cm Federer, I can definatley say the he looks more than 1 cm shorter than Roddick. Hewitt made his World Team Cup debut for Australia in at the age of In the final Hewitt defeated No.
