First, the stadium went dark. Then the dramatic music kicked in. The scene was set for a captivating spectacle that came in high-energy waves of color and light, the dark stadium lit by dots of glowing light. Next, the sky lit up with a dazzling fireworks show, sparkling trails of red, white and blue reaching high into the night sky.
A final burst of streamers snaked into the night sky before the lights came back up.
Time for tennis in Tennis Paradise.
And the best news? It will happen again tomorrow, before two-time finalist Daniil Medvedev takes on Alejandro Tabilo in the second match of the Saturday night session.
