Actually exciting players do this. Nadal and Novak do this. Carlos is a great player, the two slams he won show that.
It’s a bit different. Nadal has done it mostly when there’s tension in a match. Novak does it when he’s trying to get the crowd on his side. They’re not doing it all match for every other long point, game point, break point, winner. I will say that Carlos’ boisterous on court personality is one of the big reasons he’s become so popular so quickly. That is outside of winning a couple majors (may be 3 by next week) and his willingness to indulge his sex appeal early into his career.
