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.CHRIS DITTMAR yesterday won his first major title for six months when he beat his Australian compatriot, Rodney Martin, 7-15, 15-7, 15-9, 17-16 in the final of the French Open at Tours.
It was a typically fighting performance by the 29-year-old world No 2 from Adelaide, whose last success was in the European Open final in Kiel, Germany, against the same opponent. It was also a timely result before the British Open, which starts on Wednesday.
Dittmar was prepared to bide his time after Martin made a bright start, but his more dogged approach gradually took control. 'It's nice to win again and it does my confidence a power of good,' Dittmar said.
