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.

With most British tennis fans awaiting Andy Murray's next outing on SW19 on Wednesday, all focus is on the women's quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Serena Williams, who suffered a scare against Heather Watson, had a much easier route to the quarter-finals after comfortably beating her sister Venus. She now faces Victoria Azarenka: the pair have met 19 times, with Serena holding a 16-3 advantage. Azarenka is yet to drop a set at SW19 this year.

Elsewhere, Coco Vandeweghe meets Maria Sharapova, with the other ties seeing Madison Keys up against Agnieszka Radwanska, who reached the final of Wimbledon in 2012, and Garbine Muguruza facing Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky.

Here, James Olley fills you in on all the day's standout events, with play beginning at 13:00 BST on Centre Court and Number One Court.
