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, the British No 1, has dropped one place to 16 in the world rankings, while Greg Rusedski remains at 40.
Henman has gone down because Alex Corretja of Spain, who reached the final of the Monte Carlo Open, has moved up to 13. Both Henman and Rusedski, inactive lately after injuries, hope to return within two weeks.
Rusedski intends to play in Hamburg next week and Henman at the Italian Open in Rome a week later. Mark Petchey is the only other British man in the top 200 in the world rankings, at 191, while Chris Wilkinson is 206 and Andrew Richardson is 234.
Steffi Graf, who has been out for three months, has confirmed she will put her knee to the test in the German Open in Berlin, which starts on 12 May.
Judith Wiesner, 31, Austria's world No 17, will retire at the end of the year. She has been out with a virus since mid-March.
