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.

Grant Connell and Patrick Galbraith, the top seeds, were knocked out of the ATP world doubles finals at the Ellis Park indoor stadium, in Johannesburg, losing in the semi-finals to the Dutch pair, Jacco Eltingh and Paul Haarhuis. The Canadian-American combination had several break points after taking the first set but succumbed 7-5 in the third after losing the second-set tie-break. 'We played good points at tough times,' Haarhuis said.
