Video: How did a tennis player deal with a butterfly that blocked her sending the ball?

The behavior of Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka, ranked third in the world, met with the approval of the audience in her match Friday with Tunisian Anas Jaber, ranked 27, when a butterfly landed on her and refused to leave her while she was preparing to direct the service, as she did not turn away and dealt with her gently until she took her off the field.

After the return of Osaka (23 years) to complete the match, a prolonged applause from the crowd awaited her, who also witnessed her victory in the match in two sets, free of charge, by 6-3 and 6-2 in an hour and 18 minutes.
