I have been wondering why all these new tennis players are at least 6' 2" these days.

Is it because the taller players have better chance to succeed and this is why we get to see the taller ones only or is it because they are taking hgh?

To be honest I checked older players, Agassi was 5-11, Sampras was 6-1, Boris was 6-3, Juan Carlos Ferrero was 6-0, Safin 6-4, etc.

Did I answer my own question? :)

Funny enough, the ones that won most slams were 6-1 (djok is listed as 6-2, when he stands next to Federer they appear to have the same shoulder height while Djokovic has longer neck and head). Great ones listed as 6-1: Pete, Rafa, Federer, Djok (6-2).

There must be something magical about 6-1 or it's a coincidence.

Alcaraz is listed as 6-0, Borg was 5-11, and the great Laver was listed as 5-8.

He (wooden era) had great technique to rotate this heavy requet full swing with great timing.

Besides height, you can grow beef with it too. Some very famoose people do.

That was very interesting. You could see an evolution from little knee
bend, with a lower toss, to more knee bend with a higher toss.

BTW, Pete, the first guy held the extra ball in his toss hand. It
reminded me that early on I did this, too--most people did. Much better
to put the extra in your pocket, in my opinion.

Agassi is 5'11" like Schwartzman is 6'-2".

Agassi seems a bit taller than Hewitt.

This is happening in all sports. The way it was explained is that coaches select juniors to coach based on height. They basically neglect short kids. Natural selection at work.

Not necessarily, the way the article I read described is that we're basically seeing the tallest 1% make it into professional sports. There's no need to take HGH, there's enough tall athletic people around
