Anna Kournikova’s Height: What NeemTime.com Finds
NeemTime.com assesses Anna Kournikova’s height as 5 ft 8 in (173 cm), classified as Reported, because the WTA’s official player profile lists her at 5 ft 8 1/4 in (1.73 m).
NeemTime.com treats this as a credible official sports listing rather than a documented barefoot measurement or direct statement from Kournikova, so it does not label the record Verified.
| Claim | Source | Evidence label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 ft 8 1/4 in (1.73 m) | WTA official player profile | Reported | The WTA lists “5′ 8 1/4” (1.73 m)” on Kournikova’s official player page. |
| 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) | ESPN player profile | Reported | ESPN lists “Height: 5-foot-8” in its player card. |
| 5 ft 7.5 in (171.5 cm) | CelebHeights | Unverified | CelebHeights estimates 5 ft 7.5 in and says 173 cm was Kournikova’s official website height; NeemTime.com could not verify that original website page. |
| 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) | ESPN, 1998 profile | Unverified | ESPN’s archived 1998 profile listed 5 ft 6 in, likely reflecting an earlier point in her career rather than a current adult measurement. |
Strongest lead with quote
The strongest lead is the WTA’s official player profile, which gives: “5′ 8 1/4” (1.73 m).”
The WTA is the governing body for professional women’s tennis and maintains player records directly connected to Kournikova’s career, making this a stronger source than general celebrity databases.
NeemTime.com presents the WTA’s exact listed height as 5 ft 8 1/4 in (1.73 m) and uses 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) as the rounded working figure.
The rounding is NeemTime.com’s presentation choice, not a new measurement; the 173 cm value is the WTA’s own metric equivalent.
ESPN independently lists her at 5 ft 8 in, which supports the WTA’s adult-career listing.
Why figures differ
The main competing figures are 5 ft 8 in (173 cm), 5 ft 7.5 in (171.5 cm), and an archived 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) listing.
The WTA and ESPN support the 5 ft 8 in range, while CelebHeights gives a lower community estimate.
CelebHeights explains that its heights are “barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.”
Its reader discussion includes claims that Kournikova looked between 5 ft 7.5 in and 5 ft 8.5 in in person, but those are opinions rather than documented measurements.
The 1998 ESPN listing of 5 ft 6 in is materially lower, but it predates the later WTA and ESPN listings and may reflect her age or an earlier recorded measurement.
NeemTime.com does not average these figures; it gives priority to the official WTA listing while preserving the earlier record as historical context.
NeemTime.com assessment
NeemTime.com assesses Anna Kournikova’s height as 5 ft 8 in (173 cm), classified as Reported, because the WTA’s official profile lists 5 ft 8 1/4 in (1.73 m) and ESPN independently lists 5 ft 8 in.
NeemTime.com will upgrade the record to Verified only if a direct statement from Kournikova or a documented barefoot measurement is found.
