Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova is 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m, 173 cm) tall. Perhaps, one of Anna’s strengths as a tennis player was her height. Reports from thetennisbro.com show that the average height of a female tennis player is 5 feet 8 ½ inches (174cm), which is just half inch above Anna’s height.

At the 2010 Ladies Doubles event in Wimbledon, which was Anna Kournikova’s last competitive appearance, topendsports.com revealed that she was amongst the tallest players. The average height of the female competitors at the event was 173.6 m.
