I think he's got a lot of thinking to do. Does he want to keep playing just to keep playing? If so then it should be a quick decision that he's back. But if he wants to compete for, and win, big events again it's going to be a mega ask for someone who is 40 with absolutely nothing to prove. The grind is only going to get more difficult going forward, his ability to recover between matches tougher, the "waking up on the wrong side of the bed" days more frequent. And if he really wants it again playing a reduced schedule will only hurt more, he needs matches to stay sharp and not month long breaks.
