Andy Murray dumped by GF over gaming habit

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. Andy Murray and Kim Sears split over 'seven-hour-a-day PlayStation 3 addiction' [Telegraph UK]

Posted: Wed 02 Dec 09, 8:03am 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.

Posted: Wed 02 Dec 09, 8:49am 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

Posted: Wed 02 Dec 09, 11:12am Do you think if I play video games for 10 hours a day I will be even better at tennis? I think so.

Posted: Wed 02 Dec 09, 11:13am Wonder if that source is Activision trying to drum up more media attention for MW2.

Posted: Wed 02 Dec 09, 1:18pm 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?
