The only press conference held by the LTA during the fortnight ( there has been not a squeak from them since ) came on the third day when - in Draper 's absence - Steve Martens , the player director , Paul Annacone the head coach of the men 's game and Nigel Sears , the Fed Cup captain tried to explain away a barrage of British defeats and the one thing we did learn from it was that Martens , the Belgian , assumed total responsibility for the dearth of results .
