Jannik Sinner releases first single with Andrea Bocell

Jannik Sinner has surprised tennis and music fans alike with the release of a new duet with fellow Italian Andrea Bocelli.

The world number one, who is already a proven ace on the tennis court with three Grand Slam titles, shares his singing voice in a song with the famed Italian opera star. It is titled 'Polvere e Gloria, which means 'Dust and Glory'.

The song features English and Italian lyrics and is accompanied by a music video that contains footage of the two of them side by side at a piano, as well as clips of them both from their childhood.

"Every life is a potential work of art: each of us bears the sweet responsibility of nurturing our talents in the daily acrobatics of living, pursuing our dreams while remaining steadfastly true to our values," the pair wrote in a post on social media.

"This duet is such a bold leap that it has ignited our passion, born of shared and unwavering desire to express our deep belief that nothing is impossible."

The release of the single comes as Sinner was defeated by Alexander Bublik in the second round of the Halle Open on Thursday, 19 June. The Italian is now expected to turn his sights to Wimbledon, with the main draw beginning on Monday, 30 June.
