Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Re-live the coverage from day 10 of the Wimbledon Championships after Serena Williams and Simona Halep booked their place in the women's final.

Williams stormed past Barbora Strycova, winning 6-1 6-2 in just 59 minutes, while Halep beat Elina Svitolina 6-1 6-3 earlier in the day.

Saturday's final will be the American's 11th as Halep makes her first appearance here at the All England Club. Re-live the action below:

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage from Wimbledon.

Defending champion Djokovic opens proceedings against David Goffin of Belgium before eight-time champion Federer continues his campaign against Kei Nishikori on Centre Court.

Rafael Nadal also returns, this time on Court One, where he takes on big serving Sam Querrey.

And don't forget Serena Willians and Andy Murray with the superstar mixed doubles pairing back in action.

We'll have all the latest throughout the day.

Lewis Hamilton would've been quicker...

For what it's worth, my prediction is Pella v Bautista Agut will go to five sets, and thus will be the match of the day.

Novak Djokovic and David Goffin are out on Centre Court warming up ahead of their quarter-final!
