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.Peter Marshall scored the best win of his career - and one of the best by a Briton in two decades since the heyday of Jonah Barrington - when he beat the 1991 world champion, Rodney Martin, of Australia, 15-17, 8-15, 15-12, 15-12, 15-8 in the Dutch Open on Saturday, writes Richard Eaton from Amsterdam. The 21- year-old British national champion then reached his third world circuit semi-final by beating the left-handed Londoner, Danny Meddings, yesterday.
Both contests revealed Marshall to be physically stronger than at any time in his career.
Against Meddings the score was 17-14, 15-13, 9-15, 15-7. The difference between the players was Marshall's superb retrieving and tenacity, which look to have booked his ticket to Zurich in January as one of the eight men in squash's first world grand prix finals.
