Andy Murray’s gaming addiction threatens his relationship with girlfriend Kim Spears
Most tennis players take the break between Wimbledon and the US Open as a time to relax and recover from the exertion that their bodies go through at Wimbledon. Some of the top tennis stars have recently been spotted on various locations around the world enjoying themselves while lying in the sun.
The Scottish professional tennis player, Andy Murray has been reported to have been on holiday with his long time girlfriend Kim Spears. The couple has been sighted sun-bathing on a beach in the Bahamas. This is a well deserved holiday for Murray as he has had an exhausting time playing at Wimbledon. The Scot managed to advance to the semi-finals where he was upset by the Grand Slam champion and world number one, Rafael Nadal, 6-4 7-6 6-4.
British fans had high hopes from Murray and were extremely disappointed at his defeat because they have not had a compatriot reach the final at Wimbledon since 1938. Murray was expected to end this period of underachievement for British tennis at Wimbledon but was unable to do so. This holiday was a perfect way to for him to escape the depressing headlines which flooded the media in his homeland about him failing at Wimbledon.
Andy Murray is indeed a remarkable tennis player. Even though he has not won any Grand Slam titles as yet, he has made it to the finals at the US Open in 2008 and at the Australian Open earlier this year. He is the number one player in Britain and is currently ranked number 4 in the world. His best ranking has been world number 2, which has made him the highest ranked British player since 1934.
When this tennis superstar is on-court, playing at his best, his game looks absolutely flawless and it is hard to imagine that he can have any weaknesses on-court. Seeing the strength he puts into his game, it makes it difficult to believe that he could have any weaknesses off-court either.
However, Murray is not perfect and has his weaknesses. It has been reported that this Brit has a severe addiction to gaming. Murray is as enthusiastic about indoor video games as he is about his outdoor game.
The young boy inside of the twenty-three year old Andy Murray comes out whenever he puts his hand on a gaming device. At the release of PlayStation 3, Murray was first in line to bring this awesome video game console home and is said to have spent seven hours a day playing Modern Warfare 2 and Tennis on it. One wonders where this tennis player finds the time between a busy schedule in his career and personal life to play video games. But Murray paid a price for his extreme gaming habits. After a four year romance, Kim Spears decided to dump Andy Murray and blamed a huge portion of the breakup on the tennis star’s addiction to his video games and his inability to spend an adequate amount of time with her. They broke up in 2009 but the couple was reported to have reconciled a few months later, when Spears was seen to have been visiting Murray’s home premises. These two love birds just could not stay apart.
The British tennis star is one lucky guy to have someone as hot and gorgeous as Kim Spears by his side and his game is said to have gone down when Spears left him. However, Murray has still not been able to learn from his mistake, as his video game addiction still lingers. In the photos of the couple on their vacation in the Bahamas, they are both lying side by side and Murray is busy playing video games on his Nintendo DS ignoring the sizzling hot Kim lying next to him in a s**y white bikini – Murray’s addiction must be really bad to be missing out on a sight like that.
It is about time Murray realised that he needs to spend more time with his girlfriend rather than blowing her off for his long hours of gaming otherwise their relationship will be in trouble all over again.
