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.

n I think that is goodbye to Wimbledon. I think it will be my last. It's a jungle out there and everyone wants to kick your ass. The 31-year-old Henri Leconte after being eclipsed by the Argentinian, Javier Frana.

n I was a little bit nervous. I didn't know what to expect, but it was a great feeling playing here for the first time. The fifth-seeded Mary Pierce on her debut at Wimbledon.

n It's something extraordinary for me. Every time I come here the emotion starts. I've grown to love it. Andre Agassi on the reception which greeted his entrance on to Court One to play the qualifier, Andrew Painter.

n He played everything better than I did. He was volleying better, he was serving better. He did every shot just that little bit better. Michael Stich, the No 9 seed and 1991 champion, after losing 6-4, 7-6, 6-1 to the Dutchman, Jacco Eltingh.
