Naomi Osaka is one of the best current-generation players in the sport. The 24-year-old has won four Grand Slams at a very young age. After her shock withdrawal from last year’s French Open due to mental health concerns, the Japanese failed to impress in this year’s clay-court Grand Slam, losing in the first round.

However, apart from tennis, the 4-time Grand Slam champion has done well to bag some new endorsement deals. Recently, Osaka signed a deal with the Bahamas-based cryptocurrency exchange FTX and is also acting as its brand ambassador.

Recently FTX announced its arrival in Australia with a rather funny tweet. Reacting to the tweet, Osaka recalled a funny incident that happened to her at the 2021 Australian Open.

Osaka recalls the butterfly incident

FTX Australia announced their arrival in the country with a funny tweet asking for tips to avoid a drop bear attack. Replying to the tweet, the Japanese star wrote that she might not know much about bear attacks but surely knows a thing or two about butterfly attacks.

“Bear attacks I’m unfamiliar with, butterfly attacks, however,” she wrote.

Notably, in a funny incident, Naomi Osaka was interrupted by a butterfly during her match against Ons Jabeur.

Showing her kind side, the Japanese gently took the delicate critter off the court, but the butterfly refused to leave as it flew back to sit on her nose.

The video went viral on the internet as the official Australian Open Twitter account shared the clip with the caption, “Even the butterflies in Australia love you @naomiosaka.”

Naomi Osaka wore butterfly shoes to the Australian Open 2022

Osaka immortalized the memory of last year’s incident by wearing a custom-designed Nike shoe with a butterfly print. Notably, she wore two different shoes with a beautiful butterfly design when she stepped onto the court to defend her Australian Open title.

However, Naomi couldn’t repeat her 2021 performance as she crashed out after losing her third-round match against Amanda Anisimova.
