I suspect there's going to be a long line of newspapers who will be happy to take her up on this. I mean you'd fire any editor who didn't at least try.
Calling all British newspapers: I am available to review Nicola Sturgeon’s memoir. No fee required as long as you don’t edit out the swear words.

Boisson is completely new to finals day, as evidenced by her total bemusement as people come up and give her things - a little ship, a little ship in a big bottle, a big bottle of champagne. Like she's wondering when they get to the trophy bit.

At this rate Cashy will have played absolutely everyone on their way up and lost to them when they were 14. (This one's fake. In the real story it was Nadal, aged 14.).
Pat Cash: “I was meant to play an exhibition match in Serbia. 30 mins before, Becker says he can’t play. They tell me ‘you will play a 14 year-old’. I go on court, ready to give him a few games, so he won’t be upset. I lose 2-0, and ask him for his name:. ‘Novak Djokovic.’” 🐐

Lois Boisson wins the title in Hamburg in straight sets. Hilarious that the biggest struggle she had all week was against someone who was cramping so badly in the third set she couldn't run and was hobbling around like a one-legged pirate in search of their parrot.
