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.

PETE SAMPRAS, the world No 1 and Wimbledon champion, is expected to be fit for the United States' Davis Cup semi-final against Sweden, which starts in Gothenburg tomorrow.

Tom Gullikson, the US captain, has denied reports that Sampras, who has missed part of the summer with an ankle injury and suffered a surprise fourth-round US Open defeat earlier this month, would not be ready.

'Pete is hitting the ball really well in practice and moving about the court well,' Gullikson said. 'He is doing just fine - he had a stomach upset earlier in the week, but that was minor.'
