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.

Those who have loyally purchased every instalment of Sega’s hero tennis title are likely to feel one of two things on encountering Virtua Tennis 2009. On the one hand, they might be pleased to have another chance to play one of the finest tennis franchises on the market, with great controls (especially on the Wii) and a refreshing lack of gimmicks. On the other, this plays less like a totally new title than a freshened-up take on previous Virtua Tennis games, so there’s a chance that paying punters could be a little disgruntled at investing in an identikit update.
