Jose Mourinho says he has a ‘special respect’ for tennis players and that footballers can learn from their mental strength

Jose Mourinho thinks football can learn a lot from tennis players and their mental strength.

The Chelsea boss was a regular at Queen's Club for the Aegon Championships and admitted that he spends almost as much time watching tennis as he does football in his spare time.

Mourinho talks of a 'special respect' for tennis players who must take sole responsibility for whether they win or lose out on court compared to the shared responsibility of a football team.
