Italian Tennis Star Jannik Sinner Releases His First Single... With Andrea Bocelli

World #1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has teamed up with Andrea Bocelli for an unexpected move: Sinner (or should we say… Singer) features on a new single alongside the Italian tenor.

The song Polvere e Gloria (Dust and Glory) is out now via Decca Records/Universal Music. A piece of music that represents a conversation between generations, Bocelli sings warmly in the rich song when Sinner enters the court with inspirational words in the second verse.

Taken from his winning and losing speeches of key games, Sinner’s voice appears in the song in a spoken-word fashion, providing sayings such as: “All you have to do is to be yourself,” “Improve every day,” and “Talent doesn’t exist, it has to be earned.”

Sinner, the first Italian tennis player to reach #1 in the Men’s Singles category, said of the surprise collaboration with Bocelli, “I am very happy, and honoured, to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag for our country in the rest of the world. I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It’s extremely moving.”

Andrea Bocelli returned to Australia in April for a one-off show at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where a 70-piece orchestra and a 60-person choir joined him.

He said of the concert, “The opportunity to return to Australia for one exclusive show in Sydney is something I deeply cherish.

“These moments are far more than concerts—they are profound experiences where music allows us to connect and celebrate life together. My hope for this upcoming performance is to bring serenity, joy, and beauty into the hearts of everyone who attends.

“Having had the privilege of performing for Australian audiences before, I know their warmth, passion, and enthusiasm make each visit unforgettable. I am deeply grateful to my loyal Australian fans for allowing my music to become part of their lives.”
