Scott McTominay reveals his friend was behind Nick Kyrgios’ most viral Wimbledon moment ...Middle East

Scott McTominay says friend is responsible for Nick Kyrgios’ hilarious ‘Can’t buy a serve’ viral moment.

A clip of the Australian being heckled at Wimbledon in 2019 regularly does the rounds on social media when the world famous tennis tournament rolls around.

Kyrgios was taking on compatriot Jordan Thompson in the first round at the All England Club, and found himself under pressure as the third set had to be decided on a tie-break.

While serving for the set at 9-8, Kyrgios faulted his first attempt.

This prompted the frustrated Aussie to scream: “I can’t buy a first serve,” to the amusement of everyone in the crowd.

But the joke didn’t stop there, when his second attempt clipped the net for a let.

A fan then shouted: “You can’t buy a second serve!” with the crowd on Court three erupting into even more laughter.

Kyrgios certainly saw the funny side, who turned to laugh along with the spectators, and smiled as he prepared for his third serve attempt.

The hilarious interaction quickly went viral on social media, and continues to pop up online six years later.

However, the identity of the heckler had been a mystery until Napoli and Scotland star McTominay joined talkSPORT show Wimbledon Unfiltered, which is hosted by Kyrgios and broadcaster Gordon Smart.

After inspiring the Italian giants to Serie A glory last season with a stunning individual campaign, the ex-Manchester United midfielder joined Kyrgios where talk turned to his moment that soon went viral.

McTominay outed his friend, Josh Coulthard, as the culprit.

Smart was the one who revealed the connection initially.

“So your best mate gave Nick one of the greatest ever tennis heckles, didn’t he?”

Opening up on his relationship to the event, McTominay laughed: “It was so good!

“It gets recycled in our group chat every year – ‘Can’t buy a first serve’.

A stunned Kyrgios then replied: “I can’t believe it!

“So the clip – ‘I can’t buy a first serve’, and then the guy who said: ‘Can’t buy a second serve’, is your mate!

“That’s got to be one of the most played clips of all time.”

The Scot then made sure to name and shame his friend, as he continued: “Every year, Josh Coulthard. 

“It comes around in our group chat every year. Always Wimbledon repost it. Shout out to Josh.”

Kyrgios echoed the footballer, as he thanked his friend for providing some unforgettable entertainment.

The 30-year-old agreed: “Shout out Josh, [he] created one of the best memes of all time.”

McTominay was quick to add that Josh had not just been a one-time visitor to Wimbledon when he made the iconic comment, as he revealed his pal is actually a huge tennis fan.

He said: “He loves his tennis – he goes everywhere all over the world, and watches and enjoys it. Yeah, what a guy, man.

Both Kyrgios and Coulthard will be hoping to enjoy plenty of entertainment at Wimbledon today, as the competition hots up at the quarter-final stage.

In the men’s draw, US star Ben Shelton is bidding to cause an upset against Jannick Sinner, while Flavio Cobolli will look to do the same when he faces seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

Meanwhile, the women’s draw sees Iga Swiatek take on Liudmila Samsonova, followed by teenage star Mirra Andreeva’s clash with the unseeded Belinda Bencic.
