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.US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro will be out of action for at least a month after suffering a recurrence of a right wrist injury.
The Argentinian first picked up the problem in Shanghai last October and was again troubled by it at the Kooyong exhibition prior to the Australian Open.
He struggled through the draw in Melbourne before losing to Marin Cilic in the fourth round and, after returning to South America to train, aggravated the problem again this week.
The 21-year-old world number five will miss the ATP World Tour events in Marseille and Dubai and Argentina's Davis Cup tie against Sweden after being ordered to rest for four weeks.
Del Potro's coach, Franco Davin, told La Nacion newspaper: "What happened was something that surprised us all because Juan Martin was doing very well in training.
"In the final training session he felt a pain. He went for a scan and the problem was detected. The important thing now is for him to recover and return to playing without discomfort."
Del Potro is hoping to be fit to be play in the Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami next month.
