No. 1 Tennis Player Jannik Sinner Featured on Andrea Bocelli's New Single
Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner is featured on Andrea Bocelli's new single, 'Dust and Glory' that was released Friday.
The song, which blends Italian and English, mixes Bocelli's vocals with spoken verses from Sinner, The Associated Press reported.
It's a tribute to the struggle and beauty of life's journey, and 'the fine line that turns dust into glory.'
There's also an accompanying four-minute music video featuring private footage from the childhoods of both Italian stars, with current scenes filmed at Bocelli's home in Tuscany.
'Talent doesn't exist; it has to be earned,' Sinner says in the recording.
'Sharing this journey with Jannik was fascinating," Bocelli said. "We're from different worlds but close in commitment and discipline in the constant search for authenticity and beauty. I have always been his fan, fascinated not only by his talent, but also by his humility and his inner strength.'
Sinner added: 'I am very honored and happy to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag of our country in the world. I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs, all this is a strong emotion.'

3-Time America's Cup Champion Peter Burling Joins Luna Rossa Ahead of 2027 Regatta Off Naples
Three-time America's Cup champion Peter Burling has joined Luna Rossa ahead of the 2027 regatta off Naples, the Italian team announced Friday. Burling left Team New Zealand in April after nearly a decade in which he steered his home boats to three consecutive America's Cup trophies. Luna Rossa said Burling is ready to contribute both in sailing performance and technical development as the team gears up for the next America's Cup campaign. Barring a change in protocol concerning team changes, Burling likely won't be able to be aboard Luna Rossa and will have to remain on shore. Luna Rossa CEO Max Sirena praised Burling's exceptional sailing talent and his sportsmanship. 'Even though his exact role has yet to be defined, he will certainly be part of the sailing team, reinforcing Luna Rossa's core leadership group and contributing to key areas of our development program,' Sirena said. Burling is a former Olympic sailing gold medalist and nine-time world champion. He became Team New Zealand helmsman in 2017 and, at 26, steered the boat to a 7–1 victory over Oracle Team USA in Bermuda. That made him the youngest helmsman to win the America's Cup. Burling was skipper and helmsman when Team New Zealand successfully defended the America's Cup in 2021 in Auckland, New Zealand, and 2024 in Barcelona. 'I've always loved racing against Luna Rossa, and now to join this iconic team is a real honor,' Burling said. 'The innovation and competitiveness they bring to the Cup has always inspired me. I'm grateful for the warm welcome, and I'm looking forward to working hard alongside a world-class team, doing my part to help win Luna Rossa's first America's Cup.'
