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 “amicable” and “mutually agreed” 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 “seven hours a day” playing video games.

“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 “doesnÂ’t play computer games any more than any other 22 year-old.”

Judges, Hollywood actors, tennis stars – everyone’s gaming.
