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.Greg Rusedski will take part in the Colonial Classic tournament in Melbourne next January. The British No 1 has grabbed the final place in the eight-man competition, which is the traditional lead-up to the Australian Open. Meanwhile, Rusedski is poised for a showdown with Tim Henman in the Honda Challenge tournament at the Royal Albert Hall early next month. Rusedski will be playing on home soil for the first time since he broke into the world's top 10 and will face Henman, whom he replaced as British No 1 earlier this year, in the doubles tournament on 4 December. Henman partners John Lloyd, while Rusedski plays with the Australian Peter McNamara.
Andre Agassi, who is in a prolonged slump, had to endure another setback when he was beaten by Christian Vinck, of Germany, 6-2, 7-5 in the final of the Luxor USTA Challenger tournament In Las Vegas. Agassi, who was ranked No 1 in the world for 30 weeks in 1995 and for two weeks early in 1996, has fallen to No 141. As a result, he has been forced to enter his home-town Challenger event, which takes place in what is virtually a public park.
