''HEIGHT'' IS THIS A PRIME FACTOR FOR HIGHER RANKING?

HEIGHT:-THE PRIME FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER RANKING IN TENNIS? NO

         Height is advantageous to hit high velocity first services,remaining other parameters like, on court speed,aglity,tennis specific factors like ''ACCURACY WITH CONSISTENCY COUPLED WITH ON COURT ENDURANCE'' remains ''CONSTANTS'', The apparent benefits of height, beyond 180 cms is just a'' mythical factor'' which can be nullified with ''SMART SERVICE RETURN SKILLS''
       Often, not only coaches, parents, the entire tennis fraternity celebrate/give undue importance to height   as a ''HUGE FACTOR''in a growing player at the early stages of tennis training and ''miss out'' a highly talented medium/short statured player by depriving him/her proper exposure to appropriate coaching.
       Hope Asian/Asean nations' ''TENNIS FRATERNITY'' may understand this phenomenen and improve their service return skills, so that more number of players can climb up to higher ranking. Any questions please?
