Andy Murray and Kim Sears split over 'seven-hour-a-day PlayStation 3 addiction

The pair, who are both 22, announced they were breaking up on Sunday, after Sears failed to show up at the O2 Arena to watch Murray playing in the ATP Tour Finals.

Murray’s agent said at the time that the split had been “amicable” and “mutually agreed”.

However, sources close to Sears said one of the causes was the world number four’s long hours playing video tennis and PlayStation 3 games such as the best selling Call of Duty sequel.

Brad Gilbert, Murray’s former coach, has said in the past that Murray spends “seven hours a day” playing video games.

The source told The Sun: “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.”

However, the player’s agent told the paper that Murray “doesn’t play computer games any more than any other 22 year-old”.

The pair relationship lasted for nearly four years. Murray met Sears, the daughter of British Fed Cup captain Nigel Sears, through his former coach Mark Petchey.

According to reports, Sears has left Murray’s mansion in Oxted, Surrey and moved back in with her parents in Barcombe, West Sussex.

She is studying for a degree in English Literature at the University of Sussex and is pursuing a career in publishing.
