Girlfriend dumps Andy Murray for seven-hour PS3 sessions

Posted Dec 1, 2009 at 10:53AM EST by Glenn M.

Listed in: PS3 Tags: Hollywood, playstation 3 updates, Sears

Andy Murray is currently Britain's #1 tennis player, currently ranked #4 in the world based on the ATP rankings. But even tennis stars have other games in their lives. For Andy Murray, there's his PS3, and he enjoys a good round of gaming just like we do. By good, I mean seven-hour sessions whenever he could. According to The Telegraph, these gaming sessions eventually led his girlfriend, Kim Sears, to break up with him.

The breakup was Â“amicableÂ” and Â“mutually agreedÂ” says Murray's agent. Sources close to Sears, however, say that one of the reasons was because Murray spent too much time playing tennis games and - you guessed it - Modern Warfare 2 on his PS3. How much is too much? According to Brad Gilbert, Murray's former coach, the World #4 spends Â“seven hours a dayÂ” playing video games.

Â“He would spend all his time glued to them. In the end she just got fed up with it. She wanted more out of the relationship," according to one source. The agent replied that Murray Â“doesnÂ’t play computer games any more than any other 22 year-old."

Judges, Hollywood actors, tennis stars - everyone's gaming.

I get into constant arguments with the misses (fiance) over my gaming time. With 10hours-a-day work and my masters degree classes, I barely have a chance to sit and play me some MW2. Still, you have to find a way. Am @ Lvl 40, but my friends are way past me on 65ish levels.

Its a very fragile balance am juggling here... Only way to go is sleep less!

She seems comparable to a good game:

Like Chepoxxx said - a bit of juggling is required.

So what you're saying is your controller is just a figment if your imagination?

Seriously though, let see now. He's 22, probably loaded from tennis winnings. If you ask me, she just did him a favor. He won't have any issue finding another girl. Plus did I mention he's probably loaded? He could do much better than Kim Spears.

# yea — Guest 2009-12-01 18:13

i dont think im gonna buy a game that is expected to sell super well, just because it was good at one point in its life. screw that, ill take the games that dont have $150+ special editions with super useless crap just because they know ppl will buy it.

in relation to the article, im a 22yr old that cant stand long periods of straight gaming, and i havent played 7 hours a day since i was 15. as for the gf, she plays too so we share or take turns... i play dragon age for a bit, she works on finishing gta4 100%

# lol... — papajag 2009-12-01 18:44

If I was popular I would win the story. I was dumped for playing Pokemon and not listening to my ex talking. This is the reason Pokemon is the game that impacted me the most in life.

@bradz7

Don't let her go man. You are one lucky son of gun.

# yeah.... — Shatterdome 2009-12-01 20:07

He will have no problems finding another ass to tap....

# good gob and bad? — Guest 2009-12-02 19:10

qj did a good whit the new comments. now I can write here with out loggin in, that is good. but what is bad is I can't see any comments on my PLAYSTATION3 browser. what is the problem? I wrote this on my laptop.

# ummm — vizard00 2009-12-02 20:26

my xbox turn 24/24 and its ok , its falcon , just give air and let it cool in dashboard befor shooting down , to avoid # heat back to cpu ,

" ref : datashow turning off "

that not mean im rrod free , xbox 360 is a uncompleted console project and the rrod is its beta stage .

# Thats true. — TPot 2009-12-03 18:10

Looks like they had a big night out for that one.

# http://millennialtennis.blogspot.com/ — Guest 2009-12-03 18:29

I'm really surprised that Murray was able to find the time to play for 7 hours a day.

# fo show — Guest 2009-12-03 19:33

This is how i roll.

# Guest 2009-12-06 03:15

hehe, yeah he'll have no probs getting a new girl. and I game 7+ hours a day. but not everyday of the week.

Even if i have a gf i can still make time for her. and one thing i can't stand is a gf that asks to play CoD. it's my isolation time with my friends. :)

# andy murray — Glenn M. 2010-01-03 14:02

i find it so cool that despite spending that much time on gaming, andy still plays as great as he does
