After two weeks of intense battle on the court, Australian Open 2024 finally culminates in the final round. With a tense battle between Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner set to take center stage, all eyes lie on the Rod Laver arena. With Nadal and Djokovic both not a part of the Grand Slam final after a lengthy period of time, Medvedev’s duel with Sinner has brought an incredible opportunity for the men’s tour. Who will win the match? Well, time will say. Here’s another question- who is taller?

During a match, the mindset players have, their approach, and their skills are obviously important, but then, their height also matters to some extent.

Who is taller, Daniil Medvedev or Jannik Sinner?

In tennis, being taller brings an obvious advantage. Taller tennis players have better reach, making them more suited to reaching for shots farther from them as well as when it comes to serving. As a result, the taller player has a small edge when it comes to determining the outcome of a match.

In this case, the Italian hero Jannik Sinner comes in at 6 ft 2 in, while Daniil Medvedev towers in at 6 ft 6 in, making him the taller one.  While the difference is not too great at 4 inches, Daniil Medvedev still enjoys a ‘higher’ advantage over the Italian.
