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.

I'm not an iceberg. Goran Ivanisevic, the No 4 seed responding to criticism that he never smiles.

It's a nice thing that younger girls are cheering for me. It is better younger girls than younger guys. Ivanisevic.

I had 13,000 people supporting me today. That's what won me the match. Britain's Greg Rusedski after his memorable four-set victory over the No 16 seed Guy Forget, of France.

I don't want to talk about Greg Rusedski any more. Chris Wilkinson, who objects to Canadian Rusedski's conversion to the British cause.

He played well - I didn't. So that combination didn't provide a very good recipe for me. Miles Maclagan after being overwhelmed by British compatriot Wilkinson.

All of a sudden, he decided he wanted to be part of the match, which I wasn't too happy about. Pete Sampras on the umpiring of Carlos Ramos during the champion's Centre Court match with Britain's Tim Henman.

I've still got a lot to learn about playing on grass. Mary Pierce after the No 5 seed had lost to fellow Frenchwoman Nathalie Tauziat.

I'm sure Martina was disappointed but I'm sure she understands. Heinz Gunthardt the coach of the No 1 seed Steffi Graf on her withdrawal from the women's doubles which left the veteran Navratilova without a partner.

She's not a whiner and I wasn't going to twist her arm. I just took it on the chin. Steffi felt she needed to take care of her body. Navratilova.
