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.British No 3 Anne Keothavong reached her seventh WTA Tour semi-final after beating Bibiane Schoofs in straight sets at the Luxembourg Open yesterday.
The world No 93 had reached the last eight courtesy of a stunning win on Thursday over former world No 1 Ana Ivanovic, and she reproduced that form yesterday to reach the final four in Luxembourg for the second successive year.
The 28-year-old was superior in all aspects of the match, producing three aces as well as winning 70 per cent of points on her second serve, as her Dutch opponent made few inroads.
Keothavong secured a 6-3, 6-2 victory in one hour and five minutes and will now face Romania's Monica Niculescu, who beat Lucie Hradecka 6-4, 6-4. Should she win, Keothavong will become the first British singles finalist in a WTA Tour event since Jo Durie in 1990.
