"She did not miss a commentary, not even during her illness - underlines the Sky editorial staff in a message read by the director - The last time we listened to her, like you at home, was at Wimbledon, where she celebrated Jannik Sinner's second consecutive victory, as she had done for the historic first time - on 13 July 2025 - paired with Paolo Bertolucci, who composed with her, in over 20 years of commentary together, the second formidable double of his career".
