NEW YORK - It sounds like a tall tale, except it's true.
When 6-foot-8 (2.03m) Kevin Anderson faces 6-foot-6 (1.98m) Sam Querrey at the US Open on Tuesday, it will be the tallest Grand Slam quarterfinal, semifinal or final of the modern era.
On the same day, Diego Schwartzman, standing just 5-foot-7 (1.70m) will be the shortest Grand Slam quarterfinalist since Peruvian Jaime Yzaga at the 1994 US Open, who was an inch shorter.
