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.

Second seed Tim Henman cruised into the quarter–finals of the Swiss Indoors tournament yesterday.

Henman, who won the event in 1998 and was a runner–up the following year, won 6–2 6–1 against Andrea Gaudenzi.

Henman needs to reach at least the semis to qualify for the season–ending Masters Cup in Sydney, where only the top eight in the world are invited.

He meets Michel Kratochvil in the quarters after he upset fifth seed Arnaud Clement 6–3 1–6 7–6 (8/6).

Roger Federer, last year's runner–up, beat Xavier Malisse 6–3 6–4, while Andy Roddick completed a 6–4 7–6 (7/4) win over Nenad Zimonjic.

Carlos Moya was too good for French qualifier Nicolas Thomann and lucky loser Nikolay Davydenko knocked out local favorite Marc Rosset.

Julien Boutter, who shocked top seed Gustavo Kuerten on Wednesday, beat Andrei Pavel in three sets and George Bastl defeated Bohdan Ulihrach.
