Nadal on Federer: I don’t want to look like I’m gonna be his boyfriend

Rafael Nadal was obviously in a great mood after he dispatched Andrey Rublev 6-1 6-2 6-2 in the US Open quarters.

Talking about Federer

There was a lot of hype after Rafa’s win as it seemed as he was destined to play his longtime rival Roger Federer in the semifinal (but Roger eventually fell in the quarters).

Therefore, a journalist asked: “People are obviously fascinated by the rivalry. What do you admire most about Roger on court and what do you admire most about him as a man off the court?”

Rafa’s answer was priceless as he replied: “I don’t want to look like I’m gonna be his boyfriend.”

When Nadal is in this mood everyone else can laugh with the exception of his upcoming opponents.

Funny.
