Nadal Signs a Prosthetic Leg After Wimbledon Win


Rafael Nadal got an out-of-the-ordinary autograph request after his 6-4, 6-2, 7-5 win over Donald Young in Day 3’s last match on Centre Court on Wednesday.

And he was more than happy to oblige. When a fan handed the two-time Wimbledon champion a prosthetic leg to sign he put pen to prosthetic, and stuck around for a word.

All in a day’s work for Nadal. Here's what he had to say about the experience in press:

Q. I'm sure you have been asked to sign quite a few strange things in your career but it seemed as you came off the court you signed a prosthetic leg?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah.

Q. Did the person take it off to sign it?
RAFAEL NADAL: Was already off. I don't know if he take it off at that moment or not.

Q. Is that the weirdest thing you have had to sign?
RAFAEL NADAL: Probably not.

He’ll move on to face Russia’s Karen Khachanov in the third round.
