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.

GORAN IVANISEVIC'S slump continued when he was beaten in straight sets by the Argentinian, Guillermo Perez-Roldan, in the second round of the Nice Open yesterday.

The Croat, runner-up to Andre Agassi at Wimbledon last year, lost 6-1, 6-3 and was then fined afterwards for refusing to speak to journalists.

Ivanisevic, the world No 6, has had a poor start to the year. He missed the Australian Open in January because of a stress fracture of the foot and then lost in the second round at the Lipton Championships last month. He recently summed up his form with 'the way I'm playing I would be struggling on the women's tour'.

Sweden's Stefan Edberg recovered from 5-2 down in the first set to beat Russia's Andrei Chesnokov 7-6, 6-2.
