Loyal, demanding, a winner - Murray on Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has said one of the things he admires about tennis players is that, unlike footballers, they have nowhere to hide.

That was certainly the case the last time he watched me play, at the ATP Finals in November when I lost pretty quickly to Roger Federer.

Thankfully I was in much better form against Gilles Muller at Queen's Club on Friday and afterwards I spent a few minutes with Jose, just chatting about what the two of us are up to and taking a few photos.

Any chance to talk to someone who's been that successful over such a long time is worth taking and I'd love to spend a bit longer with him some time, to try to understand just what it is that makes him great.
