Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Rafael Nadal will meet Roger Federer in the Australian Open semi-finals after coming back to beat seventh seed Tomas Berdych 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-4, 6-3.
No. 2-ranked Nadal and No. 3-ranked Federer are on the same half of the draw at a major for the first time since 2005, meaning only one can advance to Sunday's final. Federer beat US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro earlier in three sets to advance to the Australian Open semis for the ninth consecutive year. He has won four of his 16 Grand Slam titles at Melbourne Park.
Nadal won the Australian title in 2009, but lost in the quarter-finals in 2010 and '11.
It was Nadal's 10th consecutive win over Berdych, a sequence including the 2010 Wimbledon final.
