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.Chen Xinhua defends his singles title in the Uncle Ben's Senior National Championships at King's Lynn, Norfolk this weekend, though he is still troubled by a thigh injury. The No 1 seed, who now plays for Britain, is drawn to meet the 11-times winner, Desmond Douglas, at the semi-final stage. This leaves Carl Prean, last year's losing finalist, with another chance of the title. If the No 2 seed from the Isle of Wight reaches the semi-finals, Matthew Syed should be the obstacle between him and Chen. Lisa Lomas, of Luton, has again been made the women's No 1 seed despite losing in the semi- finals to Alison Gordon, from Reading, last year. However, the form of the European silver medallist this year makes her a clear favourite.
How to get there: Lynnsport Leisure Park, Green Park Avenue is in King's Lynn town centre. Qualifying rounds start at 9am tomorrow. On Sunday, play continues at 9am with the finals from 4pm. Admission: Saturday free; Sunday pounds 4 adults, pounds 2 children (Tel: 0553-777122).
