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.

Belgium's Justine Henin gained revenge on Daniela Hantuchova yesterday, beating the rising teenager 6-4, 7-5 to make her way into the semi-finals of the Sparkassen Cup in Leipzig.

The third-seeded Henin, knocked out of the US Open by the 19-year-old, slammed an ace to close out the match after breaking the Slovakian's serve to take a 6-5 lead in the second set.

Henin will now face the winner between top-seeded Serena Williams and Slovakian Janette Husarova who were due to play their quarter-final match later yesterday.
