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.

PETER NICOL followed his conquest of the world No 1, Jansher Khan, in Cardiff a fortnight ago with a dramatic defeat of the world No 2, Brett Martin, which confirmed the Scottish champion's advancing claims as a potential world champion at the Barringtons Club here yesterday, writes Richard Eaton from Vale do Lobo, Portugal.

The carefully crafted 15-12, 13- 15, 15-10, 15-10 success over the Australian also ensured a British player will contest tomorrow's Portuguese Open final.

'I was given good advice between games from Peter Marshall, to try to get the ball in the air and put it over his head, and it worked,' Nicol said. 'Now I can use Peter's own advice against him.' The pair meet today.
