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.I told her after the match, `Well I've got two more matches to go, so I want to keep it short'. That's why I played so well. Martina Hingis, after beating Sabine Appelmans.
She's just a little bit better than most of us. She's the No 1 player in the world. I think without that attitude, maybe she wouldn't get so far. Appelmans dismisses suggestions that Hingis's comments were arrogant.
Nobody saw me as a favourite at the beginning of the tournament but I got through pretty easily until now. I'm improving every match. I feel pretty good. The draw doesn't look too bad for me. Hingis.
Well, it was lunchtime. I only know that the people who were there were tremendous and gave me so much support. Greg Rusedski, asked about the sparse attendance for his win over Richey Reneberg.
I think it was one of the best matches I've ever served in. Rusedski.
I'm kind of glad they knocked it down. I've broken my wrist there and had my longest matches in the tournament there. So when they decided to do away with it I didn't complain. Boris Becker on the new No 1 court.
I didn't come here relaxed, not expecting anything. I expected to do well and to play well. It has nothing to do with retiring. It just has a lot to do with me trying as well as I can in this tournament right now. Michael Stich, who retires at the end of this year, after beating Mark Woodforde.
