The Lawn Tennis Association insists the "door is always open" to leading players and coaches who want to help develop British tennis.
World No 2 Andy Murray expressed concerns that the LTA were not doing enough to encourage up-and-coming players after steering Great Britain to their first Davis Cup success in 79 years, fearing "nothing ever gets done" by those in charge of domestic development.
The LTA was heavily criticised for the failure to capitalise on Murray's Wimbledon success in 2013, with participation falling in the months following his victory over Novak Djokovic and the organisation faced losing part of its funding from Sport England.
But chief executive Michael Downey, who took over at the start of last year, issued a statement on Tuesday evening and called for a united front from all involved.
"The GB Davis Cup team's success at the weekend was an incredible sporting achievement and we congratulate [captain] Leon [Smith] and all of the team for what they have accomplished," Downey said.
"Their success is a chance for the nation to celebrate and we hope this will inspire people to pick up a racquet and get on court.
"We value the opinions of all of our players on how we grow the game in Britain and our door is always open to Andy, Dan [Evans], Dom [Inglot], James [Ward], Jamie [Murray] and Kyle [Edmund] to hear their views and work collaboratively with them and all of our partners."
