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.

TIM HENMAN overcame Franco Squillari, of Argentina, 6-3, 6-3, to reach the third round of the German Open yesterday.

Squillari, who won his first tournament title at the Munich Open on Sunday , could do little against the impressive Henman, the fifth seed who had a bye into the second round of the clay court event. He now meets Arnaud di Pasquale of France.

Mariano Zabaleta, of Argentina, beat the German Open holder and sixth seed Albert Costa, of Spain, 7-5, 6-2.

The Czech Open tournament organisers said yesterday that Russia's Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Goran Ivanisevic of Croatia would not receive appearance money after their lacklustre first-round performances in last week's event.
