Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Britain's Chris Wilkinson beat Poland's Wajtek Kowalski 7-5, 6-4 and will play either David Rikl, the Czech Republic No 2 seed, or Chris Woodruff, of the United States, in the semi-finals of the ATP Challenger event in Heilbronn, Germany.

The lucrative men's Grand Slam Cup, usually held each December, is to be played earlier in 1997 because of the clash with the Davis Cup final and the ATP Tour World Championship. The Grand Slam committee said yesterday it was not ideal for the ATP championship, the Davis Cup final and the Grand Slam Cup to be played consecutively at the end of a long season. The 1996 event will be held as scheduled in Munich from 3-8 December but a new date for next year would be set following further discussions with the ATP tour.
