Game, duet and match – Andrea Bocelli records song with tennis ace Jannik Sinner
The song, Polvere e Gloria (meaning Dust And Glory), features world number one Sinner repeating parts of his winning and losing speeches, which he recorded at Bocelli's studio in Tuscany.
The track, which features both Italian and English lyrics, is described as a 'musical dialogue between two Italian icons', blending opera and storytelling.

Sinner said: '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.'
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.
It will be released on June 20 on Decca Records/Universal Music.

Kneecap's Mo Chara to request Irish translator at court hearing
O hAnnaidh, stage name Mo Chara, appeared before Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday, accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. During the brief hearing, it was reported that the 27-year-old wanted to speak in Irish during the court hearing, but the judge said the court was unable to find a translator at that time. Kneecap's manager, Daniel Lambert, said on social media that the 'entire public gallery laughed' following the judge's request for a translator as people pointed to fellow Kneecap member DJ Provai, real name J J O Dochartaigh. Lambert wrote on X/Twitter: 'Funniest moment of today. 'The magistrate (judge) said the court had so far been unable to find an Irish translator. ''If anyone knows of one….' he said. 'The entire public gallery laugh and all point at DJ Próvaí (JJ) at the same time.' O hAnnaidh is expected to ask to be allowed to speak in Irish at the next hearing in August. Under the rules, O hAnnaidh's request may be denied as an interpreter is only normally provided in criminal cases where a defendant does not understand English. However, judges do have considerable say as to what happens in courts they are presiding over and may decide to allow the defendant to speak Irish, leading to the need for an interpreter. O hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. He received a round of applause outside the courtroom after the short hearing. A crowd of supporters had surged around the entrance of Westminster Magistrates Court yesterday in support of O hAnnaidh as they waved banners in support of the musician along with Palestinian flags. The band will play at show at Glasgow's o2 Academy next month.
