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.AS TENNIS racket technology takes on a new dimension, women's tennis appears to be improving. This year the women's championship has proved to be more entertaining than the men's. It's about rallies, tense moments and, above all, entertainment - something that men's tennis lacks. Martina has character and humour. Fernandez, Martinez and McNeil are great players and great entertainers.
Sampras is good at his job, but he doesn't make great entertainment. He is the Steve Davis of tennis: unappealing, serious and boring.
Technology can be partially blamed. But why hasn't it also affected the women's game?
