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.Sasa Hirszon, ranked 280th in the world, fought back from the brink of defeat to upset the Russian Andrei Chesnokov and clinch a World Team Cup final place for Croatia in Dusseldorf, Germany, yesterday.
A set, 5-1 and 40-15 down, the 22-year-old Croatian surprised Chesnokov and a sell-out crowd by saving four match-points before winning 4-6, 7- 6, 6-2.
Team leader and the world No 4, Goran Ivanisevic, had set the stage for the drama by defeating Yevgeny Kafelnikov 6-4, 7-6. Although Croatia and Russia finished their group with identical 2-1 records, Croatia advanced by winning their meeting.
Spain ended a disappointing tournament by claiming their only victory, 2-1, over the Netherlands. Sergi Bruguera, the French Open champion, headed off to Paris on a positive note by beating Richard Krajicek 6-1, 6-4, while Alberto Berasategui overcame Jacco Eltingh 6-4, 6-4.
