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.

I probably could be arrested for some of the thoughts I had. Agassi reflects on the incident later.

It's been a big hump to get here. John McEnroe.

He plays the whole year not so great, and then he sees my face and he plays his best. He hit some shots that are not even in the book. I haven't seen anyone play from the back on grass like that. Boris Becker, on Agassi.

It's probably one of the greatest achievements of my career for sure. Agassi.

I do hope that next year I won't be grunting. I'm not doing it on purpose. After this tournament I'm going to practise to get rid of it. Monica Seles.

When it gets close she really gets loud. It can distract you. You hear a big grunt and then you expect a really hard ball but it just doesn't come and you suddenly find you are not in the right position. Steffi Graf.
