Florent Manaudou : Découvrez l’identité de sa nouvelle chérie
Florent Manaudou n’est plus un coeur à prendre. On avait laissé le nageur, médaillé olympique, dans les bras d’une jolie Ambre mais ce dernier a finalement rencontré quelqu’un d’autre. Suivi par L’Équipe au meeting de Rome, où il est arrivé deuxième du 50 m vendredi 21 juin 2019, on a appris qu’il a une nouvelle chérie.
Après sa deuxième place dans la compétition, Florent Manaudou a savouré son retour gagnant dans les bassins. Non content de fêter sa victoire avec son coach James Gibson, le séduisant jeune homme a aussi célébré ce moment avec celle qui fait aujourd’hui battre son coeur. “Les deux homme s’étreignent, mêlent leurs sourires. Manaudou a nagé avec un de ses bonnets, ils avancent ensemble. Avant de filer vers le bassin de récupération, il s’arrête encore, pour d’autres bras, ceux de sa petite amie, la joueuse de tennis Alizé Lim. Et s’éclipse“, écrivent nos confrères. Le beau gosse a même offert son bouquet à sa belle après la compétition…
Âgée de 28 ans également, Alizé Lim occupe actuellement la 472e place mondiale au classement WTA. “J’ai commencé à jouer en professionnel durant l’été 2010, après avoir terminé l’Université à 20 ans. Je n’avais aucun membre de ma famille pour me pousser ou voyager avec moi, c’était mon choix parce que je voulais faire du tennis. Je voyageais seule chaque semaine, me battant pour progresser, alors que personne ne regardait mes matchs pour me dire quoi améliorer”, a-t-elle confié au compte Instagram Behind The Racquet le 20 juin.
Avant sa relation avec le frère de Laure Manaudou, Alizé Lim a fréquenté un autre sportif : le joueur de tennis Jérémy Chardy.
Cet été, le couple essayera sans doute de passer du temps ensemble mais ce n’est pas gagné d’avance ! Florent Manaudou sera à Antalya du 30 juin au 6 juillet puis après en Corée. Il compte bien nager le plus possible pour affronter son prochain défi, à savoir l’International Swimming League à Indianapolis en octobre.
"I started playing professionally in the summer 2010, after finishing university and turning 20. I didn’t have any family member pushing me or traveling with me, this was my own choice because I loved tennis so much. I finally had more time to train and travel and went up pretty fast to around 280 WTA. I thought ‘great this is going to go fast’. Two years later I was still in the exact same spot. I was traveling alone every week, struggling to improve as I had no one to watch my matches and tell me what to work on. The academy I trained at was charging 1500 for one week of coach salary on tour, meaning 6k a month, plus expenses. There was no way I would ask my parents to pay that. My boyfriend at the time was top 30 ATP and told me those words I will never forget, ‘Alize, no one can make it alone, and if I’d been alone, I would still be playing National tournaments by now.’ He fought for me and found a sponsor so I could finally travel with the coach he thought was best for me. I was so happy and felt a big difference straightaway, broke the top 200 in just a few weeks, and finished the season around 150 WTA six months later, with only about ten weeks on tour with that coach. I decided to hire him full time when the new season in 2013 started, paying for a monthly salary. I thought this will go even faster now, but everything started going downhill. He had never traveled full time, was missing his family a lot, was clearly miserable on the tour and we had a really bad relationship off the court. I was feeling terrible and my results started getting worse. We split when I reached my highest ranking of 135 and got my first Wild Card for Roland Garros and had to play against Serena Williams on center court alone. It was my first main draw slam and I had no one in my box to look at. The two people I were confiding in at that time were the director of my academy, and my fitness coach, who were also helping Serena. I was literally looking at my opponent’s box during that match. We lost the sponsor, but luckily I started making more money so I could invest some into coaching. The academy found me another coach to try right after and I was super excited about it…”
Bon ok j’avais des palmes
Monday morning vs Saturday night . (When you’re injured and it’s your only way to do cardio )
This is how I exited the court the last time I played a Grand Slam, at Roland Garros 2017. I tore both my adductors during that match, I was so worried and in pain every single step, I struggled to run, thought I would have to retire, but the crowd was so amazing that it carried me through the whole match, they managed to turn it into an incredible moment and I ended up almost winning the second set somehow. I’d just come back from a knee injury, and after that tore my adductors again twice that summer 2017. The year 2018 has been even worse as I tore my abs twice, then tore a ligament in my foot and finished the year with a tendinitis in my other foot. I’ve just been announced I won the Wild Card for the qualies of Roland Garros this year, through the French race system. I won’t say anything more, you can only imagine how happy I feel about stepping on the court there again, two years later.
