Zr and Hf have almost similar radii due to the Lanthanoid contraction which is due to the poor shielding effect of 4f electrons.

Helloo!!
This is because atomic radii of 4d and 5d transition elements is nearly the same. This is explained by the lanthanoid contraction, which is further explained on the basis of shielding effect.
hope it helps
