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.

Greg Rusedski has jumped 17 places in the latest ATP world rankings after reaching the final of the Croatian Indoor Championship in Zagreb.

Rusedski, beaten 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 by the world No 2, Goran Ivanisevic, in Sunday's final, yesterday rose from 56 to 39 and is now only six places below his highest-ever ranking - 33 - which he achieved in January last year.

The British No 1, Tim Henman, has dropped one place from 16 to 17 despite resting last week. In the same week last year he reached the Shanghai Open semi-finals and now loses the ranking points he gained then.

Henman next plays in the Dubai Open, starting on 10 February. Rusedski is at the Sybase Open in San Jose that week.
