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.Former champions Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Albert Costa made unexpected first round exits from the Swiss Open in Gstaad yesterday. The top seed Kafelnikov, the 1996 French Open champion and winner of the Swiss title in 1995, was brushed aside 6-4, 6-3 by Marc Rosset before the Swiss player's home crowd. Costa, the defending champion and No 5 seed, fell to the American Richey Reneberg 6-2, 1-6, 6-4.
Pat Cash, the former Wimbledon champion, was left considering his future after he was beaten 6-3, 6-1, by the third seed, Sergi Bruguera, in the first round of the Swiss Open. "I still believe I can play competitive singles on certain surfaces, but if I can't consistently play in tournaments, there really isn't any hope to compete" Cash said.
