      I've followed Rafa for years and coincidentally I have studied a few years of Spanish so I wonder if theres ever anyone else that actually understands when Rfa says emotional he actually means the match was "exciting", like roller coaster exciting. Emocionante in Spanish means exciting, and Rafa probably thinks emotional in english refers to exciting. Could be wrong but Iam 90% sure he's meant to say exciting in like 95% of his interviews lol.

Rafa is just himself...and not a wannabe like many other non-native english language speaking tennis/cricket stars...there are many like that where i live... and most sound fake... so a speech-style like rafa's is like a breath of fresh air...tho now even that has changed a bit...

He mentioned the fact that he had lost 3 clay tourneys in a row, which was highly unusual for him.
