Ur a bit of a tit aren't you Martin.
She’s not English with a name like that !
Rich, the MDB advertises itself as a newspaper about Mallorca for English speaking (not necessarily just British) readers. Emma doesn’t really fall into that category in spite of her amazing achievement. That said, the MDB often breaks that rule so…🤷🏼♀️
I know her names not Michael Douglas, but a certain person won the US Open tennis and broke records while doing it and yet I can't find a mention of her victory in this paper! Are you guys nuts? Just in case you forgot her name it's Emma Raducanu.
