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.The British No 3 Anne Keothavong suffered a heavy second-round defeat by Roberta Vinci in the Luxembourg Open yesterday.
Keothavong, who had ended a nine-match losing streak with a first-round win, had no answer as the Italian clinically wrapped up a 6-4, 6-1 win in just over an hour and set up a match with either Venus Williams or the ninth seed, Mona Barthel.
The men's British No 1 Andy Murray, will play in an exhibition tournament in Miami in December as part of his preparations for next season.
Murray will play either the Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero or the American John Isner in the semi-finals on 1 December, before a possible final against Andy Roddick, who recently retired from professional tennis at the US Open, the following day.
