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.Great Britain had some rare success yesterday as Miles Maclagan captured his first major international title when he won the pounds 84,000 ATP Challenger event in Istanbul, Turkey.
The unseeded 20-year-old from Scotland overcame the Frenchman Frederic Vitoux 7-6, 5-7, 6-2 to earn prize money of around pounds 9,500.
Maclagan, who had never been beyond the second round of a Challenger event, needed two hours and 56 minutes to see off an opponent who had beaten another Briton, Tim Henman, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals.
Maclagan's victory will boost his world ranking from 251 to around 100.
