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.

The Canadian-American combination had several break points after taking the first set but succumbed 7-5 in the third after losing the second-set tie-break. 'We played good points at tough times,' Haarhuis said.
