Player Height thread: Nadal is 6' 0"

[Hs0022]

Not 6'1" as claimed. This is because he looks an inch shorter than Federer in almost every shot. The latest proof is the picture for the lineup of #1 players at the #1 ceremony. can be seen at the ATPworldtour.com site.

Other players:

1. Ivo Karlovic - 6'10"
2. John Isner - 6' 9" (looks shorter than Ivo always)
3. Jerzy Janowicz - 6'8" -> Kevin Anderson - 6'8"
4. Marin Cilic - 6'6" -> Sam Querrey - 6'6"
5. Del Po - 6'5(61/64)' (close to six six)
6. Milos Raonic - 6'5" -> Lukas Rasol - 6'5"
7. Tomas Berdych - 6'5"
8. Gael - Monfils - 6'4"
9. Andy Murray - 6'3"
10. Novak Djokovic - 6'2"
11. Roger Federer - 6'1"
12. Rafael Nadal - 6'0"
13. Janko Tipsarivic - 5'11"
14. Kei Nishikoru - 5'10"
15. David Ferrer - 5'9"
13. Michael Russel - 5'8"

Thats at a first glance. Its tough to find players in the top 100 that are below 5'10 or 5'11" mark nowadays.
Also point to note those that have dominated Nadal are much taller than him like Russel Brands or Lukas Rasol who tower at 6'5" each.

and?

Fans of Nadal should pray that he does not meet any of them in his draw? Them tall dudes that is.

They can whac-a-mole his "shoulder height" topspin shots into oblivion because those shots ain't getting up to their shoulders, hehe.

Nadal's been invincible on hard courts this year, losing zero matches and beating lots of top 10 players, including the #1 player, who is taller than he is as well. I'm pretty sure he and his fans are secure in his ability to win matches against anybody right now.

Isner is one of those tall players less effected by Nadal's topspin, and even playing the best tennis of his career, he barely made a dent in Rafa's game in their final last Sunday.

Rafa has typically made short work of giants. He has a harder time against players with two handed backhands who move really well.

If you combine those 3 attributes (height, 2HBH, quick) that leaves Janowicz and Berdych, and maybe Delpo (although he is not as quick as those 2).

I am looking forward to seeing Nadal running into these giants on the fast hard courts at the USO.
The reason why he hasn't had much success (until recently I don't think he ever won back to back HC titles or even defended them) is because of tall guys like Berdych and co.

His record against Berdych is 15-3. The last time Berdych beat him was in 2006. It's been easy wins on all courts, including hard, for Nadal since then.

I don't care much for Nadal, personally, but what you're posting is cuckoo, bro.

Nadal builds the bulk of his h2h against most players on clay because he is lucky that the surface he excels on has the highest number of tournaments. This in turn fools the whole tennis world into thinking that he is dominating.

He has dominated just about every person on your list on all surfaces.

You've fooled yourself into believing the horse shit you post.
