Playing in just his third tournament in nearly a year,  the former world No. 1 is trying to raise his ranking back up from its current standing of No. 832.

After feeling not quite 100 percent fit to play at Wimbledon, the 2012 US Open champion got right to work at Rock Creek Park.

He even had time for a visit to the White House.
