John Lloyd resigned as Britain's Davis Cup captain on Wednesday after a humiliating defeat to Lithuania.

John Lloyd has resigned as Britain’s Davis Cup captain after the team lost to Lithuania this month.

"Davis Cup Captaincy is a tough job and I'm sure that the next Captain will be as passionate as I was and have no doubt that the team is capable of defeating Turkey in July," Lloyd said in a statement from the Lawn Tennis Association.

The Lawn Tennis Association also announced that American Paul Annacone would no longer be Britain’s Davis Cup coach. Instead, he will become the head coach of men’s tennis.

Britain, playing without Andy Murray, lost 3-2 in best of five matches tie and sent LTA into soul-searching

Britain must defeat Turkey in July to avoid dropping into Europe/Africa zone group III.
