Empowered by winning his third Masters championship in Madrid, Alexander Zverev continues his rise.

Watch: Tall Talents Reshaping Game

Five of the world's Top 10 players—Zverev, Marin Cilic, Juan Martin del Potro, Kevin Anderson and John Isner—stand 6-foot-6 or taller.

"I think tennis is getting bigger and more powerful," Zverev told the media in Rome. "And obviously, we all hit the ball, try to hit the ball very hard.

"I think, yeah, I think that's the way tennis is going. I think the young guys are all pretty big, all pretty powerful. And I think that's the direction the game is going."
