Earlier this week, world No69 Sousa had beaten British youngster Paul Jubb - but was expected to lose to Croatian giant Cilic.

Mourinho is also set to watch his old friend Nadal in day four's most-anticipated match on Centre Court - after revealed the tennis ace could have been a pro footballer if not for tennis.

On the 18-time Grand Slam champion, the Special One claimed: “He is incredible. I am happy he didn't, but he could also have been a fantastic football player.

“His uncle was my player in Barcelona in 1996. I know that Rafa can play football and well.

“So he could have played with his physicality, mentality, and his skill, too. He could be.

“Thank you so much he wasn’t. Because in tennis he is what he is.”
