Rafael Nadal says that he never ever meant to intimidate Novak Djokovic, and other players, by his warm-up routine, and that Federer is the player that has moved him the most, emotionally:
“It was never, never, never my intention [to intimidate]. I warm up like that, trying to be prepared and ready to go, and I work out, nothing more. I haven’t heard what he said, honestly.
[Continued] Since I have a memory of tennis, Federer is the player who has impressed me the most, the one who has entertained me the most, the one who has moved me the most.
Watching Federer play has moved me more than Djokovic, and in the end, tennis is about emotion; it’s the emotion that draws you to it”
