Zeeshan Ali announced his resignation as coach of the Indian Davis Cup team, effective a month before their upcoming match against Sweden. Ali, who has held the coaching position since 2013, felt he had achieved all his goals in his tenure. The Davis Cup match will take place in Stockholm.

In a surprising turn of events, Zeeshan Ali announced his resignation as the coach of the Indian Davis Cup team on Wednesday. This major decision comes just a month before the team's next assignment against Sweden in Stockholm.

Reflecting on his tenure, Ali highlighted his unique achievements, including serving as a player, coach, and captain of the Davis Cup team. "I felt that I have already achieved whatever there was to achieve as far as Davis Cup was concerned," he remarked. The Indian team is set to face Sweden on an indoor hard court from September 14-15.
