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.CASSIE JACKMAN, the fourth-seeded former world junior champion from Norfolk, reached the quarter-finals of the World Open with a straight games victory over Vicki Cardwell, the former world champion from Australia, increasing belief yesterday that she carries the best home hopes of having a finalist on Sunday, writes Richard Eaton from St Peter Port, Guernsey.
Jackman's draw is the best of the leading English players and her third-round form looked encouraging, even though her 9-4, 9-4, 9-0 win against Cardwell lasted less than half an hour.
Jackman today plays another Australian, the sixth- seeded Carol Owens, while Fiona Geaves meets Liz Irving, the second-seeded Australian who beat the giant killer of the day before, Linda Charman, the England No 7.
