LTA Orders Internal Review

The Lawn Tennis Association are set to hold an internal inquiry into Great Britain's "unacceptable" defeat to Lithuania in the Davis Cup.

Great Britain are in danger of dropping into the bottom tier of the competition after their 3-2 loss over the weekend left them facing a relegation play-off.

Captain John Lloyd is already weighing up his future after overseeing a record five successive defeats - but he now faces questions from the LTA over what has happened.

LTA chief executive Roger Draper said: "I share the deep disappointment and frustration at this result. Five defeats in a row is unacceptable.

"So I have asked the LTA player director, Steven Martens, to review last week's performance and result, and report back to me and the LTA main board as soon as possible.

"That review needs to be swift and decisive as it is clear some real improvements need to be made."
