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.I felt very confident about it because I knew she was under pressure. As they say, 'No guts, no glory', so I went for it and I got the result. Jana Novotna after her semi-final triumph over Martina Navratilova.
I had a great time. It's fun to be out there. Martina Navratilova, after losing the semi-final.
I don't think I felt any sympathy. I didn't feel sorry for her. I played an incredible match and I deserved to win. Novotna.
If you see Martina having a tough match and you are down, you say, 'Come on, get yourself together'. Steffi Graf, who went 4-1 down in the first set, after watching Navratilova lose.
She's got the talent. She's got the game. We've had lots of close matches. I never could figure out why she was unable to get beyond that (one previous Grand Slam final). But I guess she has figured it out now. Graf on Novotna.
I'll have to have a very solid serve, and I have to work on my return, which wasn't really good today. Graf on what she needs to do to beat Novotna.
I was trying to keep going, playing aggressive. But she played more aggressive. Conchita Martinez on Graf.
I hope people come to watch my racket do the talking. That's what I'm all about - just go out and try my best. Pete Sampras, men's No 1 seed and singles semi-finalist.
