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.Serbia's Ana Ivanovic claimed her first grand slam title with a 6-4 6-3 win over Russia's Dinara Safina in the French Open final on Saturday.
The second seed became the first woman representing Serbia to win a major title.
Last year's finalist Ivanovic, who will become world number one on Monday, was too powerful for Marat Safin's younger sister, converting three of her four break points to take the opening set in 45 minutes.
She broke in the third game of the second set, held serve and sealed a straightforward win on Safina's serve when the Russian missed a forehand after one hour 38 minutes.
