WTA Female Tennis Player Height & Weight Data + Stats

WTA Female Tennis Player Height
& Weight Data + Stats

Tennis demands exceptional physical fitness from its athletes, so it’s no surprise that the women on the pro tour are some of the fittest and leanest athletes on the planet and generally taller.

However, if you’re watching tennis in person, on TV, or online, it can be challenging to gauge their actual height and weight, which piques the curiosity of many fans and aspiring athletes.

As a point of reference, the average height of a female tennis player on the pro tour is 5′ 9″ or (1.74 m), but averages can often be misleading, so it’s worth digging into the details.

To that end, this guide breaks down the height of the WTA tour’s most prominent active and retired tennis players while providing helpful stats and an explanation for why weight data isn’t publically available for these female athletes.

This section details the height of active WTA tennis players ranked in the top 100 and available data on prominent retired players who no longer compete on tour.

Tallest & Shortest Players

From 5′ 2″ (1.57m) to 6′ 1″ (1.86m), the WTA features players with wide-ranging heights. This section outlines the tallest and shortest female tennis players worldwide.

Tallest Players

Compared to the average height of women, most WTA tour players would be considered tall, but a few stand out, with heights nearly a foot taller than the shortest players.

Venus Williams is currently tied as the tallest player in the top 100, measuring 6′ 1″ or 1.86 m. The following table outlines the remainder of the players for you to explore.

Shortest Players

Over 90% of female tennis players on the WTA tour are 5′ 5″ or taller, which is above the average of 5′ 4″ for an American woman, so there’s no doubt height is a factor in success.

However, with that said, shorter players still find success on tour – Lauren Davis clocks in the shortest height at 5′ 2″ or 1.57 m.

Last Name First Name Height (ft/in) Height (m) Height (cm) Height (in)
Davis Lauren 5′ 2″ 1.57 157 62
Doi Misaki 5′ 3″ 1.59 159 63

Player Weight

Professional tennis players compete under tremendous pressure, and women are often highly critiqued by the media, especially on social platforms where abuse is rampant.

Furthermore, they receive outsized attention for their looks and relationships as they are their talent, which is thoroughly disrespectful and often sexist.

As a result, it’s not surprising that you won’t find the weight of female tennis athletes published in WTA player profiles and, more broadly, across the internet.

If you’re looking to gain a general sense of a player’s weight for your personal use, you can use a player’s height in conjunction with the following Healthline chart. It looks at the relationship between height and weight for healthy individuals.

Height in feet and inches Healthy weight in pounds (or BMI 18.5–24.9)
4’10” 91–119
4’11” 94–123.5
5’ 97–127.5
5’1” 100–132
5’2” 104–136
5’3” 107–140.5
5’4” 110–145
5’5” 114–149.5
5’6” 118–154
5’7” 121–159
5’8” 125–164
5’9” 128–168.5
5’10” 132–173.5
5’11” 136–178.5
6’ 140–183.5
6’1” 144–189
6’2” 148–194
6’3” 152–199

Beyond that, the weight of an individual player is your best guess, but there’s no doubt that not measuring or publishing this data is in the best interest of the players.

Frequently Asked Questions

Height and weight are popular topics online regarding female tennis players. Here are some of the most common questions.

Who is the tallest WTA female tennis player of all time?

Akgul Amanmuradova and Eva Hrdinova, who have career-high rankings of 35 and 55, tie as the tallest female tennis players ever to play on the WTA tour with a height of 6′ 3″ or 1.91 m.

Who is the shortest WTA female tennis player of all time?

Standing at 4′ 9.5″ (1.46 m) tall, Gem Hoahing of the United Kindom is the shortest tennis player in recorded history. She played tennis from the late 1930s through the early 1960s, with her best result being the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 1948.

How much should a female tennis player weigh?

It depends. There’s a strong relationship between player height and weight, with taller players typically weighing more and shorter players less. The ideal weight for a female tennis player is a healthy weight for her height, so players might consider using a BMI calculator to see where they stand.

Are long arms an advantage in tennis?

In some cases, long arms give players an advantage playing tennis because they provide greater reach and court coverage when chasing down balls, fielding returns, and volleying. Long arms can also give players extra leverage for generating more pace when serving, which can be beneficial.
