PHOTO: Djokovic signs fan's prosthetic leg after Wimbledon win
Novak Djokovic is used to signing all kinds of items for fans, but this was a new one even for him.
After his third-round victory at Wimbledon on Friday, the top-ranked defending champion stopped as he usually does to sign autographs for supporters before exiting Centre Court. Along with the usual programs and oversized tennis balls that people normally hand over, one man gave the Serb something a bit more unusual -- his prosthetic leg.
Djokovic signed the artificial limb and handed it back:

"I hope the signature is going to make him feel better," Djokovic said.
Djokovic kept up his winning streak against Australian players by easily beating Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
