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.

The Wimbledon girls' champion Laura Robson has taken over as the world's top-ranked junior. The 15-year-old succeeds Thailand's Noppawan Lertcheewakarn, whom she beat in the final at SW19 last July.

The Wimbledon resident is currently at a career-high senior ranking of 499, making her the British No 13. In Miami, the world No 1 Serena Williams struggled to a 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 win over China's Zheng Jie to earn a place in the quarter-finals of the Sony Ericsson Open. Serena's sister Venus came from a set down to beat Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
