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.

There will be a new French Open champion in the men’s singles after Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to injury after playing two five-set epics in a row.

The defending champion underwent an MRI scan after his fourth-round win over Francisco Cerundolo and it revealed a “torn medial meniscus”, forcing him to pull out of his quarter-final.

Women’s champion Iga Swiatek remains the favourite to defend her title and make it three in a row in Paris, and will face Jasmine Paolini in Saturday’s women’s final. Swiatek had to save match point in a thriller against Naomi Osaka earlier in the tournament, but has been in supreme form since, beating Coco Gauff in the last four.
