Patrick McEnroe resigns as U.S. Davis Cup captain
NEW YORK - Patrick McEnroe resigned as U.S. Davis Cup captain Monday, saying his 10-year tenure will end after the Americans' playoff against Colombia this month.McEnroe led the United States to a Davis Cup title in 2007. This year, though, the Americans must win in the playoffs to secure a spot in the top tier of the Davis Cup, the first time they have found themselves in that position since 2005.The younger brother of seven-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe said he wanted to dedicate his time to his family and his other jobs. Already a TV analyst, he was hired two years ago to run the U.S. Tennis Association's program to develop elite players."Player development is really a consuming job," McEnroe said. "An exciting job, a job that I love, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort."McEnroe mentioned Jim Courier and Todd Martin as obvious candidates for the position.
