As darkness fell on Melbourne, the outside shell of Rod Laver Arena illuminated in rainbow colours.
It was a symbolic move on the Australian Open's first official Pride Day, and provided the most eye-catching moment of Monday's event.
Celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and aiming to improve inclusivity within tennis, it provided splashes of colour across Melbourne Park all day.
Most importantly it continued to raise awareness about the issues still faced by those who identify as LGBTQ+ and educating those who don't.
Rowen DSouza is the tournament director of Glam Slam, an event being held at the Australian Open for LGBTQ+ players, and he has been working closely with Tennis Australia on its Pride Day.
