Morgan Mannarino, now former partner of Yann Auradou, will have a year 2021 full of changes. And it could start by a change of side and therefore looking for a new partner.

Trends on the right

The Parisian who has always played on the left follows the trend of changes in partners (“undergone”), but also in sensations. The two best players on the right, Benjamin Tison and Johan Bergeron have decided to join forces, Johan Bergeron wishing change sides to better flourish on the left.

This change of side of the French champion of padel in title seems to have given ideas among some French players. And this is the case of the 37th in the ranking of the FFT, which goes the opposite way, namely go from left to right. It also recalls the journey of his ex-partner, Yann Auradou who had chosen to opt for this option by going right with Morgan precisely.

More generally, we can see that internationally, we have seen many changes of this type. It seems to have started a new dynamic. Nothing is set in stone. Proof on the professional circuit of padel, World Padel Tour, with Agustin Tapia, Fernando Belasteguin, Juan Lebron, etc.

Morgan Mannarino, with whom in 2021?

Who wouldn't want a powerful, right-wing player capable of being decisive? Morgan explains “want to invest in 2021 and try to do good things ”. But that goes through the search for a partner on the left who will allow him “perhaps” to seek titles on the French circuit and why not the absolute holy grail: get a place in the France team.

The fact that Yann abandoned me (laughs), I told myself that it was certainly an opportunity to change something in my game. And I want to test myself on the right. 

We have seen a lot of changes lately in this area. I want to invest myself on the right and train myself. 

And then the level on the left is very high with in particular Bastien Blanqué, Jérémy Scatena, Johan Bergeron, Adrien Maigret. To dislodge these players on the left, we will have to be very strong. 

“I like to play on the right”

Morgan is already playing right. It will therefore not start from scratch.

With all these changes on the French circuit and then the fact that Yann wanted to change partners, this leads me to an evolution in my placement. 

I tell myself why not change sides.

No one can believe it, but I really like playing right.

An idea for the future partner?

For the moment, no serious lead. Morgan is therefore officially on the transfer market.

In 2021, there may still be some changes among the best French players. We will see how it will come together. 

What is certain: I must appreciate my partner. I don't want to make family and financial sacrifices so as not to have fun on the weekends.

Without a doubt, the Parisian will be in demand in the coming weeks. Who to apply and play with Morgan Mannarino in 2021?
