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.

Michael Stich ended Goran Ivanisevic's winning streak by taking the European Community championship in Antwerp yesterday.

Ivanisevic, who had won titles in Zagreb and Dubai in recent weeks, was beaten 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 in 84 minutes by Stich, who was playing only his second tournament since tearing a ligament in his left ankle last October. The 27-year-old German dominated from the net to win his first ATP title since he won in Los Angeles last August.

n Pete Sampras, the world No 1, overpowered Michael Chang 6-3, 6-2 to set up an all-American final with the two-time defending champion, Todd Martin, at the Kroger St Jude tournament in Memphis.
