Tennis: Sporting Digest
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 held on to his No 4 world ranking despite bowing out of the Stella Artois tournament last week with a sprained ankle while Tim Henman has moved up one place from 18 to 17. This means that both British players will be among the Wimbledon seeds.
Sam Smith, the 26-year-old British No 1 from Essex, has jumped from 128 to 112 in the latest World Tennis Association rankings following her two victories in the DFS Classic at Birmingham last week. Smith beat the Australian Rachel McQuillan, ranked 63, and Sarah Pitkowski of France, ranked 47.
