The victory of Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon thrilled millions of fans, but also those who narrated it live. Paolo Bertolucci, Sky’s technical voice, experienced with great intensity the success of the world number one against Alexander Zverev, sharing the commentary with Elena Pero and Ivan Ljubicic. A different experience than usual that then became the topic of the podcast The phone call, together with his longtime friend Adriano Panatta.
It was the Roman himself who joked about the presence of the third commentator: “I was told that three of us couldn’t do it. Instead, it can be done.” A joke that opened the little sketch between the two former champions, with Bertolucci admitting the difficulties of such a complex commentary.

“But I hear you, you know. I understand when you get impatient,” adds Panatta. And Bertolucci admits: “Yeah, I know. It’s not easy, because you have to watch the match, keep your attention, follow everything: the commentary, the commercials. Then he talks, then you talk. It’s not a simple thing.”

Panatta continued to tease him, emphasizing how great harmony is needed to alternate at the microphones: “To find the right timing, it takes, in my opinion, a lot of harmony — his thought —. You have to do it very often so you get familiar. Then I saw that Pero asks you a lot of questions: ‘What will he do now? What will Sinner do now?’. The soothsayer, practically.”

Sinner-Djokovic, Bertolucci’s prophecy: “Here’s how it will end”
Two Italians said goodbye to Wimbledon in the quarterfinals: Flavio Cobolli, defeated by Arthur Fery, and Jasmine Paolini, …
The back and forth continued with Bertolucci also claiming his pre-match predictions: “If you go and read, I had said there would be a set decided by a tie-break and that Zverev could win it if he served well — said the Tuscan —. And I had also said that, in my opinion, the match would end in four sets. Mark it down, write it well. I said it the day before.” Meanwhile, the final recorded exceptional numbers even in front of the television. Between Sky and TV8 the match was followed by over 4.2 million average viewers, with a 33.8% share and a peak of almost 5.9 million in the final games.
