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.Day 3 at the French Open sees some heavy hitters and much-fancied stars take to the clay for the first time, including No6 seed Coco Gauff and women’s No1 Iga Swiatek.
In the men’s singles, Casper Ruud and Holger Rune get their own first round ties underway, just outside the very biggest of favourites but certainly players capable of springing an upset along the way.
Meanwhile, the first round doubles matches will also begin including British hopefuls Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski, the latter being ranked joint world No1.
Yesterday at Roland Garros saw Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie start their bids with first-round victories, while in the women’s singles it was home favourite and No5 seed Caroline Garcia who made a winning start. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the third day of the tournament.
