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.The wait is finally over. A Brit is through to a Wimbledon singles final, albeit the one for boys.
Seventeen-year-old Liam Broady, the 15th seed in the junior tournament beat unseeded Australian Jason Kubler in straight sets, becoming the first Brit to make the final since Miles Kasiri in 2004. Should he win, he will be the first winner sine Stanley Matthews Jr, son of the famous footballer, who triumphed in 1962.
The talented Stockport-born left-hander, who won the boys' doubles at Wimbledon last year alongside Tom Farquharson, seemed to have suffered no ill-effects from playing for two hours in his quarter-final yesterday, then playing a three-set doubles match.
Broady paid tribute his support. "It's been great," he said. "Around the grounds people have been saying, 'Well done', and on Twitter, people keep saying, 'Well done, keep going'."
He now faces Australian 16th seed Luke Saville in today's final on Court 1.
The Lawn Tennis Association cannot claim credit. Liam and his older sibling, Naomi, were removed from their control after a row over comments she posted on a social networking site caused withdrawal of her funding.
