Shared on the official Twitter account of the Australian Open, the video starts with the insect resting on her leg. Quite tenderly, she picks it up to take it outside the court but as she puts it down on a surface, the butterfly flies again only to land on her face. A chuckling Osaka once again delicately grabs the butterfly and releases it. What makes the video even more delightful to watch is the witty commentary heard in the background.
