I definantly agree that there are some advantages to being taller, but it does not explain the success of someone like Amanda Coetzer or Justine Henin, whom do not have the advantage of height, yet are extremely talented, competitive players. I think if we are going to determine what makes someone a top player, then speed, stamina, determination and the technical aspects of their game should be taken into consideration as well as height.
