Being exceptionally tall has many advantages, but what about when it comes to sporting endeavour, in particular when it comes to racquet sports. So just what are the plus and minus points of height when it comes to tennis, squash, racquetball etc. How can a competitor use extra height to gain a competitive advantage over an opponent who has a different physical make up.
Let's look at the key attributes of the taller sports person. First and foremost is reach. Being taller implies longer arms, in turn meaning longer reach. This is a tremendous advantage in many sports including racquet sports, particularly squash. One of the key tenets to squash is to command the center of the squash court, also known as the T. Young squash players, learning the game, are taught to play their shot and then return to the center of the court. From there they are urged to control the rally by stepping and reaching to the next shot. Clearly the aid of a long reach often prevents the squash player taking the second step, which in turn buys the player an extra micro second. The longer your reach, the smaller the court.
In tennis, the taller player is considerably at an advantage merely because of the presence of the net. The ability to strike the ball at a higher elevation than your opponent, immediately opens up more of the tennis court to be your target area. Take for example serving in tennis, which has been transformed from a neutral method of starting a rally into a key shot to establish a considerable advantage in the point. The reason for this transformation is twofold - primarily because of improved technology, but the increasing prominence of taller tennis players is a contributing factor in 87% of mens pro tennis games being won by the serving player. The ability of the taller player to strike the ball at an increased height allows him to clear the net and at an angle that can strike more of the court surface than if it were coming from a lower trajectory.
Smaller racquet players however do have the advantage of quicker reaction speeds. The central nervous system can send signals from the brain to the hands and feet quicker if the distance to travel is shorter, i.e. if your are smaller. In theory, this should lead to reacting quicker than a taller opponent.
Like many things in life, being tall has many advantages. Being tall in racquet sports is no different.

A Short History of Squash
Squash historians assert that the game originated in the 19th century at Harrow School, just outside London, as a derivative of the game of Racquets. The first recorded construction of purpose-built squash courts was at Harrow in the 1860s. It is possible that earlier squash courts were created at Harrow by sub-dividing a racquets court, which is almost exactly the size of three Squash courts (to allow more players on the courts at the same time).
The game generally remained the preserve of the schools and universities until the early part of the 20th century, by which time it was becoming popular in the private clubs (such as the RAC in London) and with officers in the British armed forces.
The USA was the first nation to form a dedicated association and codify its game, in 1907. In the same year, the (English) Tennis and Rackets Association formed a squash rackets sub-committee to administer the game, which became progressively codified during the 1920s. Subsequently, the (English) Squash Rackets Association was formed and took over administration of the game in 1928. The game is now administered by the WSF (World Squash Federation). The men's professional game is managed by the PSA (Professional Squash Association) and the women's by WISPA (Women's International Squash Players Association).
Squash continued almost exclusively as the game of the upper middle classes until around the 1950s, when commercial operators started to build public courts. The game boomed in popularity, with participation peaking around the early 1980s. Despite a downturn in player numbers, the game remains popular in many locations, including Australia, Europe, North America and parts of Asia.
At the elite level, the game was strictly divided between amateur players (usually 'gentlemen' and 'ladies') and professional players, who were often coaches employed by the exclusive clubs. This division started to break down with the growth of the commercial side of the game in the 1960s, with the women's game becoming 'open' in 1973 and the men's game following in 1980.
