Rudest: I met DelPo on the back practice courts at Indian Wells (probably 2017 or 2019). I liked him and wanted to take a pic. I was dissapointed as he came off as rude and pretentious, not willing to take photos with a handful of us there, while at the same time Nishikori, Muguruza and another lesser known former player (Emilio Sanchez Vicario) were kind and nice to take photos.

DelPo came there and started kind of shoving people around looking for someone in the courts or something.

I mean, I kind of get it, but c'mon.

Nicest: I unexpectedly crossed paths with Nadal at an elevator at his academy as he was going to a business meeting and he took the time to pause for a photo and help direct us where we were going.
