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 think today was the best performance of my life. I'm just proud of the way that I handled it. I'm happy I was able to produce my best tennis on Centre Court at Wimbledon against Martina Navratilova, the legend. Gigi Fernandez after her semi-final defeat.
I wanted one more chance and I'm there. This is what I dreamed about. This is what I wanted - to go out in style. Win or lose, I'll be going out in style. I'm going to enjoy the moment. Navratilova.
I didn't want it to end after two sets. I was having so much fun. Today was a great example of how to play great grass-court tennis from both of us. Fernandez.
I'm happy that I fought the whole match. I was just a bit unlucky. She played a little better at the end, I guess. Lori McNeil after losing an enthralling three-set contest against Conchita Martinez.
It does not worry me at all. I will try to play my best. Beating Lori has really helped my confidence. I have nothing to lose and I will really go for it. Martinez on having to face Navratilova in her first Grand Slam final tomorrow.
