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.A man who claims he is romantically involved with Martina Hingis was arrested and charged with stalking her at the Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Florida.
Dubravko Rajcevic, 45, had been following Hingis and sending her letters, her coach and mother, Melanie Molitor, told police. He was charged with stalking and trespass after warning, both misdemeanors, and released on Friday on $1,000 bond.
Rajcevic told Miami's WPLG-TV that he and Hingis have a relationship.
"I'm not stalking Martina," he said. "I believe she feeds off my positive energy. She knows me well."
Hingis, 19, who will play Lindsay Davenport in the final on Saturday, declined to comment.
Rajcevic has followed Hingis at other tournaments, Molitor told police. He has an Australian passport and was staying at a hotel in downtown Miami.
When Rajcevic was seen at the tournament on Wednesday, police told him to leave and warned him not to return. He was spotted at the tournament again on Thursday and arrested, police said.
