Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) chief executive Roger Draper insists he has never considered stepping down.
The LTA has come in for more criticism over the last week after Andy Murray was the only Briton to make it through to the second round of Wimbledon.
Murray (No 4) and Elena Baltacha (No 52) are Britain's only representatives in the world top 100s. Draper set a target of five Britons in the two lists two years ago.
Asked if he had thought about resigning, Draper told BBC Radio 5 Live: "No, we are in this for the long term. As a leader in sport, what you now need is business continuity and to continually improve what has been happening across the sport.
"We are four years into a 10-year transformation of the sport. The reason we made the changes a few years ago was to stop what happened on Monday and Tuesday [last week], and that takes time.
"I know from my experience at Sport England in terms of distributing lottery money that it takes a number of cycles to get the players through."
