Watch: Tennis star Jannik Sinner, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli release song
June 20 (UPI) -- Top-ranked tennis star Jannik Sinner and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli collaborated on a new song titled "Polvere e Gloria," which they released Friday.
The song, which translates to "Dust and Glory," features Bocelli's renowned vocals while Sinner delivers speaking lines focused on advice for others. A YouTube video of the production showed Sinner standing alongside Bocelli as he sang and played the piano at a studio in Tuscany.
"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," Sinner and Bocelli wrote in social media posts about the experience.
"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."
Sinner, who lost to No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain earlier this month in the French Open men's singles final, was upset by No. 45 Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in the Round of 16 of the Halle Open on Thursday in Halle, Germany.
"Now taking a few days off before Wimbledon -- one week to reset and prepare," Sinner wrote Friday on social media. "See you all soon."

President Trump Leaves Soccer Team Speechless With Question At White House
President Trump Leaves Soccer Team Speechless With Question At White House originally appeared on The Spun. President Donald Trump had a rather questionable encounter with Juventus players and staff members on Wednesday. Juventus is currently in the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup. Prior to the Italian club's match against Al Ain, several players and coaches took a trip to the White House to meet with President Trump. Although it wasn't necessary, Trump asked Juventus players for their view on transgender athletes. He kicked off the conversation by saying, "Could a woman make your team, fellas?" Juventus general manager Damien Comolli replied, "We have a very good women's team." That led to another interesting comment from Trump. "You do, but they should be playing with women," Trump said. "He's being very diplomatic." Juventus player Tim Weah, who also competes for the United States national team, didn't hold back his thoughts on meeting Trump. "It was weird," Weah said, via The Guardian. "I was caught by surprise, honestly, when he started talking politics, with Iran and everything. I was kind of like, I just want to play football … They just told us that we have to go, and I had no choice but to go. So I guess it was a cool experience, obviously being in the White House as a first time, it's always wonderful. But I'm not one for the politics, so it wasn't that exciting." Weah isn't the only person knocking Trump this week. Countless soccer fans said his question about women competing with men was uncalled Trump Leaves Soccer Team Speechless With Question At White House first appeared on The Spun on Jun 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Both prior seasons contained 8 episodes. A recently released trailer shows Belly announcing her engagement to Jeremiah after his mother's (Rachel Blanchard) funeral service. Jenny Han's books serve as inspiration for the series, which also examines "the complexities of family and the strength of female friendships," according to an official synopsis. Han serves as one of the showrunners and an executive producer.

Journalist: Liverpool Star ‘Will Leave This Summer' in £50m Deal
Darwin Núñez Set for Liverpool Exit as Napoli Interest Grows Liverpool's summer transfer window could be set for a significant twist with Darwin Núñez expected to leave Anfield, just two years after arriving as the club's record signing. In an insightful conversation with Dave Davis for Anfield Index, journalist Lewis Steele shared revealing details about the forward's likely departure, shedding light on interest from Napoli and the financial realities surrounding the move. Napoli's Pursuit and European Interest Napoli appear to be leading the chase for Núñez. According to Steele, 'As far as I'm aware there has been no official bid or approaches for Nunez at this stage, but it seems that Napoli are keen.' He went on to add, 'I've seen some Italian reports that claim he is Antonio Conte's number one target, so I'll believe them.' Advertisement That endorsement from Italy, coupled with continued interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and Atlético Madrid, suggests a multi-club tussle could emerge. While no concrete bids have yet materialised, the groundwork for Núñez's exit seems to be well under way. Valuation Woes and Financial Realities Liverpool's valuation of the Uruguayan striker has raised eyebrows. The club is reportedly seeking between £65 million and £70 million for Núñez, but as Steele explains, that may not reflect his current market value. 'Nunez will leave this summer and Liverpool want around £65-70million for him, but I can't see them getting that. They will do well to get £40-50m, I think.' For a player who arrived from Benfica with high expectations and an £85 million price tag including add-ons, that projected sale figure is a marked drop. Yet, it mirrors the inconsistent performances that have defined Núñez's time at Anfield. While he offered explosive pace and chaotic energy, his lack of composure in front of goal and fit within the system made him a divisive figure during Jürgen Klopp's final years and now into Arne Slot's early reign. Photo: IMAGO Slot's Rebuild and Forward Planning The potential sale of Núñez is not just about recouping money. It's about reshaping Liverpool's attacking identity under Premier League-winning manager Arne Slot. Steele touched on the broader context of squad rebuilding, saying: 'They may have to take a little bit of a hit on this one and Liverpool need to try and make some money back because they've already spent an awful lot of money and as far as I'm aware, there's going to be more money spent in the upcoming weeks and months.' Advertisement Slot's ability to lead Liverpool to the title in his first season suggests that he has a clear vision for the squad. Whether that includes a new central striker or a tactical shift in attacking play, Núñez's departure seems increasingly inevitable as the club look to evolve. Strategic Exit or Misjudged Investment? While some fans may lament what Núñez could have become, others will see this as a necessary reset. It is no longer just about talent but about system fit and squad harmony. With Liverpool prioritising smart recruitment and sustainability, cutting losses on Núñez may not be a failure, but a necessary course correction. As Steele concluded in his discussion with Anfield Index, there is still business to be done. The next few weeks could prove decisive, both for Núñez and for Liverpool's next chapter under Slot.
