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.Andy Murray crashed out of the Paris Masters today, losing to qualifier Jerzy Janowicz over three sets.
The British number was beaten 5-7, 7-6, 6-2 by his 6ft 8in Polish opponent in what was a tough encounter in which Murray consistently made errors.
Murray served for the set at 5-4 in the second set but Janowicz broke before taking the set to a tie-break in which he prevailed.
Janowicz then raced to a 5-1 lead in the deciding set before winning with his second match point.
Big-serving Janowicz will play either Janko Tipsarevic or Juan Monaco in the next round.
Top seed Novak Djokovic exited in the last round, leaving Murray as the clear favourite to lift his first Paris Masters title, a prize won by both Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski during their careers.
Murray will now turn his attention to the ATP World Tour Finals in London, which begin next week.
