Sharapova says she's getting tallerMaria Sharapova is not only rising in the rankings, she's also getting taller. The 18-year-old Russian, who jumped to No. 1 in women's tennis on Aug. 22, is listed in the WTA's official guide as 6 foot. Not so, she says. Sharapova tells Time magazine she's 6 feet 2 inches tall, and she's not exactly thrilled with the extra 2 inches. "I wouldn't say I'm in love with them because if I wear heels, I'm like 6-foot-4," she says. "It's a little too tall."
