Novak, I told him things also at the very end, that were very personal and that maybe triggered something with him as well. And then, I think there's only two things I realized that would trigger me, and that was Mirka and then the Rafa angle.Roger Federer said in an exclusive interview with Amazon Prime

A lot of emotions. A lot of memories. The feeling before a Grand Slam final against Roger, it's different. Different atmosphere, different kind of pressure. To know that I will not have this feeling again for the rest of my life, it's something that's painful.Rafael Nadal said in the documentary
