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.Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski are back practising at London's Queen's Club after injury and are hopeful of returning to competition within a fortnight.
Rusedski intends to play in Hamburg next week and Henman at the Italian Open in Rome a week later. Henman, the British No 1, yesterday dropped one place to 16 in the world rankings, while Rusedski remains at 40.
Henman has gone down because Alex Corretja of Spain, who reached the final of the Monte Carlo Open, has moved up to 13. Mark Petchey is the only other British man in the top 200, at 191, while Chris Wilkinson is 206 and Andrew Richardson is 234.
Steffi Graf, out for three months with a knee injury, has confirmed she will play the German Open in Berlin, starting on 12 May. Judith Wiesner, 31, Austria's world No 17, will retire at the end of the year. She has been out with a virus since mid-March.
