Novak Djokovic receives odd autograph request

World number one Novak Djokovic describes an odd autograph request he received after beating Bernard Tomic.

Reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic received a strange autograph request as he walked off court following his third-round win over Bernard Tomic yesterday.

The 29-year-old had just completed a straight-sets victory against the Australian 27th seed when he was handed a prosthetic leg by a fan in a wheelchair.

"The gentleman gave me his artificial leg. I want to be politically correct about it. I gave him my signature. I hope it will make him feel better," Djokovic told reporters.

The Serbian is next in action when he faces Kevin Anderson of South Africa in the fourth round.
