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.Maybe I'm looking for money. Pete Sampras, on his habit of looking at the ground after every point.

It's something nice to look forward too. Andrew Foster on his last-16 date with Sampras.
The nearest I've got to playing Stefan (Edberg) before was when I had a practice session with him at Riverside last year. We played one set but I can't remember what we did . . . actually, I can - but I'm not telling you. Chris Wilkinson.
I have never thought of myself as a heart-throb before, but I am unattached and open to offers. Chris Bailey.
I feel less pressure in the States. When I'm in Europe, Paris or London, I feel I'm recognised more. In the States, there are so many big athletes and tennis is really not as popular as it is in Europe. Going out to dinner in London or Paris is pretty difficult for me. They are always asking for autographs. Sampras.
I think I'm ready for him (Richard Krajicek) now. Andre Agassi.
The way I played at the end I'm not really ready. Richard Krajicek.
