🚨 Upset alert 🚨 No.88 Dominik Koepfer 🇩🇪 comes back from a set down to win two straight tiebreak sets over six-time Atlanta Open champ John Isner… 3-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) to face Dan Evans in R16
Isner continues to hint end of career is nigh: "Tennis is not my priority right now"

John Isner has hinted that his career could soon be coming to an end in 2024, a position he has hinted at for some time.
Isner lost to Dominik Koepfer early at Atlanta Open and said that his body hasn't felt great all year and isn't allowing him to train as he wants.
Becoming a father also for the fourth time in April, tennis isn't number one in the priorities list for the American anymore.
"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."
