The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has announced its intention to oppose the controversial Davis Cup reform proposed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
Scott Lloyd -- the LTA chief executive who took over the role at the start of the year -- announced last night that the organisation will vote "No" in the heated Davis Cup debate.
The ITF, which governs world tennis, has outlined plans for a revamped version of the competition which could see it become a week-long World Cup-style event held at a neutral venue.
The LTA is concerned about the impact on the tennis calendar, how the new format would work in practice, and division being created among ITF member nations.
National tennis federations will vote on the proposals at the ITF's annual general meeting on Thursday in Orlando, Florida.
LTA chief executive Scott Lloyd said in a statement: "We take our responsibilities with regard to voting on the future of the competition extremely seriously and after consulting widely, regrettably, we do not feel we can support the proposals as they stand.
"The LTA remains fully supportive of the ITF and its leadership and we will work together on the future of Davis Cup regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's vote."
If they are approved, from 2019 the Davis Cup will begin with one traditional home-and-away round in February before an 18-team event staged over one week at the end of November decides the winners of the competition.
