The Week in Review
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.BRITAIN'S tennis players have been a traditional source of black sporting humour, but they are no longer in the class of England's cricketers. After the abject defeat of Graham Gooch's team by Australia in the second Test, the first week of Wimbledon at last provides some comfort.
Andrew Foster leads the way by reaching the fourth round to maintain British interest into the second week. Chris Wilkinson cruises into the third round where he meets Stefan Edberg today, while Chris Bailey goes close to knocking out the No 5 seed Goran Ivanisevic, holding a match point at one stage before losing in five sets.
The Lions are left to lick their wounds after defeats by Auckland and Hawke's Bay in the build-up to the second Test against the All Blacks, while Britain's golfers are left among the also-rans as Lee Janzen wins the US Open at Baltusrol by two strokes from Payne Stewart.
Alan Sugar adds another twist to the Tottenham saga by appointing Ossie Ardiles manager much to the chagrin of his former club, West Bromwich Albion.
