John Isner and Ivo Karlović are tennis' tallest ever players. Both the American and the Croatian measures in at 211 cm (6 ft, 11 in).
Both players use their height to add to their serving advantage (something we cover in this tall player training plan). John Isner also holds the record for the most number of aces in a Grand Slam match (113) and most number of aces in a set (85).
