Ivo Karlovic – 6’11”
In case you were wondering, yes, Ivo is the tallest tennis player on the planet. He is Croatian and towers over all other competitive players. He keeps himself fit and does not use a professional in his training regimen. Being so lanky means that all that height converts into power and when Ivo serves the ball, you can bet it will be fast! In his career, he has served thousands and thousands of aces much to the detriment of his opponent.
Lisa Leslie – 6’5”
There are taller female athletes but Lisa holds a special place in the annals of sporting history. She was the first woman in the WNBA to score. She got her love of keeping fit from her mom and spends a lot of time honing her body and basketball skills. Lisa has represented her country at the Olympics and other major championships and is proud of it. Nowadays, she is an accomplished actress. You may remember her starring in The Game and Sister, Sister.
