Punter places £50,000 bet on Andy Murray to win Wimbledon

One punter from Scotland will land £175,000 should Andy Murray go all the way and lift the Wimbledon title this year.

A Scottish punter has place a £50,000 bet on Andy Murray to win this year's Wimbledon.

The man, who is thought to be from Aberdeen, would net a £175,000 return should the 5/2 second favourite go all the way at SW19.

A Ladbrokes spokesman claimed that it was the largest tennis bet ever placed in Scotland, saying: "Our Murray fan in Aberdeen has given his hero the ultimate vote of confidence with this record-breaking bet."

Murray, who reigned supreme at the Grand Slam event in 2013, will face Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin on Tuesday in his first-round outing.
