Nadal is very famous for his routines and he has many with water bottles a special one. He's fully aware of people's curiosity about it and he addressed it in his autobiography. Nadal wrote:

"I put the two bottles down at my feet, in front of my chair to my left, one neatly behind the other, diagonally aimed at the court. Some call it superstition, but it’s not.
