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.

Tim Henman, despite his defeat by Marc Rosset in the European Community Championship final in Antwerp on Sunday, has risen five places from 19 to 14 in the latest ATP world rankings.

This equals his highest placing, which he achieved when he won the Sydney International, his first ATP Tour victory, early last month. Since then, he has lost in the third round of the Australian Open and the first round of the Dubai Open.

Greg Rusedski, who is competing in the Advanta Championships in Philadelphia this week, has risen one place from 36 to 35, despite withdrawing from the Memphis tournament last week with wrist problems.

Boris Becker, blaming continuing wrist pains, pulled out of the Italian Indoor Tournament which began in Milan yesterday. Doctors have ordered him to rest for three weeks.
