JANNIK SINNER has swapped tennis swinging for tenor singing with his shock new music collaboration.
The world No1 tennis star, 23, has proven his ability with a racquet in hand.
But now he will be hoping his shock new venture with Andrea Bocelli is anything but a racket.
That is because the top male singles player has dropped his very own… single.
The Australian Open and US Open champion – who served a controversial three-month doping ban earlier this year – has linked up with Italian compatriot and world-famous opera singer Bocelli, 66, to release their track.
The celebrity duo’s duet Polvere e Gloria – which translates as ‘Dust and Glory’ in English – will be released on Friday, with a teaser video featuring the pair launched on Thursday.
Sinner says in the short clip: “In our lives there will be many first times… all you need to do is be yourself.”
And the three-time major winner will be hoping he smashes it rather than double faults as he aims to hit the notes… not the nets.
Sinner follows in the footsteps of fellow tennis players Yannick Noah, Lorenzo Sonego, Denis Shapovalov and Corentin Moutet by releasing music – with the others having mixed levels of success.
Bocelli, meanwhile, memorably sang at Leicester City’s 5,000-1 Premier League title coronation for his friend Claudio Ranieri – and then made a surprise cameo on Match of the Day last month to bid Gary Lineker farewell.

But tennis fans could barely believe the Sinner and Bocelli link-up was genuine.
One said: “I was confused for a moment, this is not AI I guess.”
PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring.
But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best…
Another wrote: “Wait this is real?! I need to sit with this for a bit.”
A third added: “Jannik you truly suprise us.”
And a final user replied: “Not on my 2025 bingo card.”
Sinner suffered heartache in the epic, five-hour-29-minute French Open final as he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in dramatic fashion.
The No1 seed took the opening two sets then had three match points in the fourth set before the Spaniard’s sensational comeback.
Sinner will be hoping to get revenge at Wimbledon where they could meet in another final – but Alcaraz is going for a hat-trick of grass-court crowns.
FINLAY Bealham may not thank him for it, but Andy Farrell revealed he “cried like a baby” upon being called up to the Lions squad.
The Connacht prop was a late replacement after Scot Zander Fagerson sustained a calf injury while lining out for Glasgow Warriors.
Now, in an access all areas clip, fans have got to see Farrell congratulate Bealham in front of the whole squad – while simultaneously teasing him for getting so emotional.
In it the Wigan native says: “A huge congratulations to Finlay on being added to the squad full-time.”
He then somewhat unnecessarily adds: “Honestly, he’s cried like a baby too (upon hearing).”
The Ireland head coach then prods the 33-year-old by putting it to him: “Didn’t ya?!”
After a pause Bealham sheepishly replies “…yeah” which prompts laughter all around the room.
Farrell’s charges begin their 10-game slate against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow before heading Down Under. Yesterday saw him name his starting XV for the 8pm kick-off.
The headline item from it was that Tadhg Furlong looks set to be handed a chance to prove his fitness, albeit off the bench.
The prop has not played since Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton because of a calf injury.
He is joined in the replacements by Rónan Kelleher, the only other Leinster player involved because they were involved in the URC final win over Bulls at the weekend, in which the hooker came off the bench.
There are still three Irish players in the starting XV with 2021 tourists Bundee Aki of Connacht and Munster’s Tadhg Beirne included, along with Bealham.
Aki and Bealham’s provincial teammate Mack Hansen is also included among the replacements.
Farrell has not included any Bath representatives with the side involved in the Premiership final against Leicester Tigers on Saturday.
Lions captain Maro Itoje will skipper the side for the first time and Farrell said: “It is a truly special moment and one that very few players ever get to experience.
“Maro has led the group well during our time in Portugal and then Dublin this week. This is also our first opportunity to show what the 2025 Lions are about and what we want to stand for as a team.
“We know that Argentina will challenge us up front and out wide – so Friday night will be a tough contest, but also a great occasion for all the fans.”
After their first outing on Irish soil, the Lions will travel to Australia ahead of the three-Test series against the Wallabies.
Lions: M Smith (England), Freeman (England), Tuipulotu (Scotland), Aki (Ireland), van der Merwe (Scotland), F Smith (England), Mitchell (England), Genge (England), Cowan-Dickie (England), Bealham (Ireland), Itoje (England), Beirne (Ireland), Curry (England), Morgan (Wales), Earl (England).
Replacements: Kelleher (Ireland), Schoeman (Scotland), Furlong (Ireland), Cummings (Scotland), Pollock (England), Williams (Wales), Daly (England), Hansen (Ireland).
DUMPED Love Island stars who failed to find romance on the latest series were spotted enjoying a cuddle at a swanky fashion bash.
The ITV2 contestants packed on the PDA on the Red Carpet after being given the boot from the Mallorca compound.
Construction worker Blu Chegini, 26, became this series’ first evicted lad last week following a savage villa twist.
The Londoner followed influencer Sophie Lee, 29, out of the door after she became the first dumped Islander of the 2025 instalment.
In her exit chat, the former fire breather and dancer, who was left scarred for life following a terrifying accident, teased “summer’s not over.”
And it appears her high spirits might have something to do with Blu, with the pair seen cosying up at fast fashion brand BooHoo’s Martini’s at Sundown event.
Sophie looked sensational at the London shindig in a black bandeau top and matching skirt.
She styled her dark locks in loose waves and accessorised with strappy sandals.
After posing on a balcony for a few solo snaps, she joined Blu in the venue.
He opted for a black and white striped top, cream trousers and trainers.
The TV star was then seen wrapping his arm around Sophie’s back as they posed for a joint snap.
The rooftop bash also saw Craig David lighting up the skyline with a live TS5 set and the martinis in full flow.
Pregnant Georgia Harrison led the way on the guest list, while Joey Essex and Princess Andre also made an appearance.
All the stars were decked out in the latest Boohoo clothes.
The PDA came just days after Blu appeared to make a move on Love Island All Stars winner Gabby Allen.
During an episode of spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama told him: “You guys still have the summer to find love – whether it’s with each other or someone else – we just won’t be able to watch it on telly.”
Departures:
Gabby and Kaz Crossley were also on last night’s AfterSun, and Blu turned to look at them before waving and saying: “Hi Gabby.”
As the audience went wild, Kaz shouted back: “Yes! You’re her type, babe.”
Blu then added: “Can I pull for you for a chat?”
Laughing, Gabby pretended to walk over to Blu but didn’t appear to be shutting him down.
Gabby won the most recent series of All Stars with Casey O’Gorman, but last month confirmed they’d split.
