Rafael Nadal has only just won more in 2018 than the lucky tennis punter
Nadal has earned £249,000 this year following a run to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
But a Ladbrokes punter has run him close in the winning stakes by turning £5 into just over £186,000 thanks to a monster tennis accumulator.
The customer, who wishes to remain anonymous, placed a £2.30 18-fold and 18 15p 17-folds totalling to £5 on Tuesday, all of which came in to the sum of £186,574.91.
Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Apati said: "This will go down as one of the biggest tennis bets we've seen in recent years.
“Having correctly predicted the outcome of 18 matches, seven of which were odds against, we can do little but take our hat off to this plucky punter."
