In a recent interview, US Open player relations director Eric Buterac talked about the different aspects of tennis players. On being asked about the most pleasant player to work with, Butorac shared a backend perspective about Rafael Nadal, which is quite similar to that of his behavior on the courts.
“Honestly, everyone is really good. Rafa will often do things like shake the hands of all of the folks working at the practice desk on the way out. Little things like that go so far with staff,” Butorac expressed, highlighting the significance of Nadal’s simplicity and genuine kindness.
Nadal’s humility has always attracted co-players, fans, media, and immense opportunities towards him. While his actions have a significant mark on the hearts of the US Open staff, it explains how the Spaniard is consistent with his kind behavior, both on and off the court.
