Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

n In future I'll let my girlfriend Lucy open the mail. I will read the good ones and she can deal with the bad. Britain's new favourite Greg Rusedski on two hate mail letters among 45 congratulating him on his Wimbledon performances.

n I just wanted to make it more exciting. It was kind of weird. Gabriela Sabatini, the No 8 seed, after losing the first five games against the Belgian Nancy Feber. Sabatini recovered to win 7-5, 6-1.

n When he's in that form it's a joke. It's like you're not playing the same game. Arnaud Boetsch, of France, after being outgunned by the Croatian fourth seed Goran Ivanisevic who delivered 22 aces during his 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 third-round victory.

n Back in '92 I served 209 aces and lost in the final. It was a record, but I still came second. I'd rather hit one ace all tournament and win it. Ivanisevic.

n I've got the potential to reach the top 50 . . . in Britain. No, that's a joke. I mean the world. Chris Wilkinson after his defeat against the American Michael Joyce.
