No champions if we cannot be serious
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.Sir: No wonder we can't produce any tennis champions in this country. The young don't get a chance to see any good tennis to become interested in the game once Wimbledon is over. Last Sunday the BBC couldn't be bothered to let us see the men's fi nal of the Australian Championships unless we got up at 5.45am.
The schools can't afford to make good tennis courts which might encourage children to start playing at an early age. While football clubs can afford to pay millions for one player, tennis clubs are struggling to attract those who can afford to pay large membership fees.
The media must start to make the game attractive by showing some enthusiasm for it.
Yours, MRS Y D OSBORNE Mid Glamorgan
