"I maybe turned a corner last week [in Newport], but my body physically this year hasn't allowed me to train the way I want to train, and because of that my results have been subpar to the standards that I've held myself to for the longest time now," said Isner.
"I'm in a situation that not many players are in, where tennis is not my priority right now. Of course, I want to do well, but family always comes first. They went to Australia and they went to London and I think they’ll come to Cincinnati.
"They'll certainly come to New York if I decide that it could be my last tournament."
But despite not having the hunger, he wants to achieve 500 match wins before he finishes up.
"I'm a bit short of 500 wins, but it is something I would like to accomplish. I know very well that it might not happen this year. So we'll see. A lot of it depends on my body and whether it would be up to playing another year."
