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.

Greg Rusedski survived an early break of serve and losing the first set to reach the quarter-finals of the Surbiton Trophy with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over the Korean Hyung Taik Lee here yesterday. But on the minus side for the domestic game, the top four British women were knocked out within minutes of each other.

The British men's No 2's returning was disappointing but he improved steadily in his all- round game, wrapping things up with a trademark ace.

The British women's No 1, Anne Keothavong, lost to America's Alexandra Stevenson in three sets, while the No 2, Jane O'Donoghue, lost 6-4, 6-4 to the Russian Anna Chakvetadze. Amanda Janes, No 3 and daughter of Christine Truman, was emphatically beaten 6-4, 6-2 by the Puerto Rican Vilmarie Castellvi, but the biggest disappointment was probably Elena Baltacha, the former No 1, who lost in three sets to Akiko Morigami.
