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.The world's No 1, 2, 4 and an ever-improving 10 will be in Birmingham on Sunday competing for the pounds 14,500 prize in the Inter Footwear World Challenge. Jansher Khan (world No 1) takes on Peter Marshall, 21, the English No 1 who broke into the world's top 10 this summer. In the other semi-final, Chris Dittmar (No 2) meets Rodney Martin (No 3) in an all-Australian match. Martin travelled to the World Open Championship in Johannesburg last week as champion, but was beaten in the semi-finals by Dittmar, who lost the final to Jansher. Marshall went out at the quarter-final stage, but not without beating Jahangir Khan, the six-times world open champion, in the second round. Such is the talent on show. The first semi-final is at 7pm on Sunday, with the final at the same time on Monday.
