"I need to enjoy my life without tennis, I will see if I continue," the 28-year-old Russian told reporters after losing 6-0, 7-6 to Argentine qualifier Juan Monaco.
"I need to think it through. I will see, it was too intense these last three years. We will see. I have no pressure, nothing to show, nothing to prove.
"If I feel like I want to continue to play, I will. If not, it will be over. For the moment, I just need to rest."
