Jannik Sinner to release duet with Andrea Bocelli

World number one Jannik Sinner is to release a duet with famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.

The song, Polvere e Gloria (meaning Dust And Glory), features three-time grand slam champion Sinner repeating parts of his winning and losing speeches, which he recorded at Bocelli’s studio in Tuscany.

“I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It’s extremely moving.”

The track will be released on June 20 and features both Italian and English lyrics.

The accompanying music video features personal and archive images from the duo’s childhoods, along with scenes filmed as they collaborated at Bocelli’s estate.

Bocelli began his career in 1994 and has performed at major events across the world including the Olympic Games and the World Cup.

He performed while stood alongside Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri as the Foxes celebrated their Premier League title success in May 2016 and also sang out the show on Gary Lineker’s final Match of the Day appearance.

British number one Jack Draper will not be making a foray into music, however.

When told about Sinner’s duet with Bocelli during his current campaign at Queen’s Club, he said: “Fair play to him. He’s obviously done something that’s pretty cool that they both enjoyed. That’s nice, yeah. I’m not sure if I’ll be doing any collaborations with anyone, but each to their own.”
