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.

David Ferrer saw off fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro in straight sets to win the Swedish Open final in Bastad yesterday.

Ferrer, the world No 5, secured his fifth ATP title of the year, and his second in Bastad after his triumph in 2007, as he cruised to a comfortable 6-2, 6-2 victory in just 68 minutes.

Two breaks of serve in each set did the damage for Wimbledon quarter-finalist Ferrer, who faced just one break point in the match as he beat world No 10 Almagro for the 11th time in as many meetings.
