One person believes that Novak Djokovic holds the path to prosperity.

According to the Herald Sun, betting agency Tabcorp accepted a $130K (Aussie dollars) wager on the 2015 champion on Sunday at odds of 1.65 after Djokovic defeated 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in the Qatar Open final on Sunday.

If Djokovic wins the wager would return $214.5K, netting the bettor a cool $84.5K (approximately $58K USD). Not bad for a week’s worth of watching tennis on television, nervously.

According to the Herald Sun, the bet is the biggest Tabcorp has taken on the tournament.

“This is the bigger than any bet we took last year on the Open and it came only minutes after he beat Nadal in Qatar, so the punter obviously liked what they saw,” Tabcorp’s Shaun Anderson told the Sun.
