We cannot get the link to work right now - and a brain damaging scour of their homepage isn't working either - but British tabloid the Sun is apparently reporting tennis star Andy Murray's been kicked to the curb by his girlfriend Kim Sears for his gaming lifestyle.

We're not talking hitting the tables at Vegas or Monte Carlo here, rather "video tennis and PlayStation 3 games such as the best selling Call of Duty sequel."

This quote comes from the more moderate Telegraph UK, who is also picking up on the story, claiming Murray's former coach Brad Gilbert estimated the world #4 puts in seven hours a day on his gaming. That must do wonders for your tennis grip.

There's got to be more than that. Given what sports stars can and do get up to, sitting in your place playing games seems comparatively tame.

BOOM HEADSHOT

Still, if you come home tonight from work only to find your significant other has packed their bags, you can always go online and commiserate with Andy.

Well here's your problem.

According to The Sun, Andy Murray�s recent departure from his relationship with Kim Sears was due to his current �obsession� with the recently released Modern Warfare 2. An unnamed source told the newspaper

.

Unconfirmed reports,by an unnamed source, modern journalism at it's best.
Something to pass the time of day, during a slow gaming news week.

Noob mistake. You game when your partner is at work/hairdresser/socialising/representing you at a funeral... Gaming is like porn, they know you do it, just don't let them catch you

Do you think if I play video games for 10 hours a day I will be even better at tennis? I think so.

Wonder if that source is Activision trying to drum up more media attention for MW2.

maybe his GF worked for infinty ward and was upset that he wasnt spending 7 hours a day trying to get a game lobby working in MW2 so that their comment of "most played game in modern history" comes to life?

maybeeee - we all know how EVILLLL women can be at times.. i mean come on.. he probably bought her the fckn bags she packed up and the clothes she put in them...

It's a game about something you have zero knowledge of - balls.

Maelstrom knows all about balls though, he is the balls expert.
