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.TIM HENMAN cruised through his first-round match of the President's Cup in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, yesterday - which he won last year - with a straight sets win over Israel's Nir Welgreen. British No 1 again in the latest ATP rankings, he beat Welgreen 6-1, 6-4.
"Sometimes the first round isn't the easiest match but I was happy with the way I played," Henman said.
"I served well and playing on a quick court like they've got here, that's important. There can be added pressure coming back to defend a title, but I feel very confident. There's good opposition here, though."
