VILLENA, SPAIN: A rising star in the world of professional tennis, Carlos Alcaraz's height is regarded as average for a tennis player, standing tall at 6ft 1 inch (185cm/1.85 m).

As per The US Sun, Alcaraz is of the same height as the legendary Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal.

"Height is particularly important in tennis as it makes a player’s service harder to return because of the power, height and bounce that can be generated by the server," as per CNN.

Alcaraz has an advantage in terms of reach and power due to his height. His physique becomes an important asset on the court when combined with his weight of approximately 163lbs (74 kg).

Alcaraz's height is average for a tennis player as compared with the big four: Roger Federer, Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

Federer is also 6 ft 1 inch (185 cm/1.85m) tall. For a regular man, this might be quite tall, but for a professional tennis player, it is quite normal.

At a height of 6ft 2 inches (1.88 m/188cm), Djokovic is an inch taller than his two competitors.

With 17 Grand Slam wins, Djokovic is close to Federer (17) and Nadal (19), so it will be interesting to see what the Serb accomplishes in the years to come.

Murray is the tallest of the four players at 6ft 3 inches (1.9 m/190.50 cm). He's another person who does not look particularly tall on TV yet is much taller than average.
