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.Andy Murray has confirmed he will go into next season with the same coaching team he has been working with since the summer. Having parted company with Miles Maclagan, his main coach, after Wimbledon, Murray had planned to appoint a replacement before the end of the year, but instead he will carry on working with Alex Corretja, the former French Open runner-up, and Dani Vallverdu, who has been helping as his hitting partner.
Corretja has been a member of Murray's entourage for more than two years, while Vallverdu, who first met the Scot when they practised together at the Sanchez-Casal academy in Barcelona, has played an increasingly important role since the split with Maclagan. Both men are currently with Murray in Miami, where he is training before flying to Perth next week to play in the Hopman Cup, which will be his warm-up tournament before the Australian Open.
Murray expects to stick with his present arrangements at least until the middle of the next year, although he will continue to explore other options.
