Naomi Osaka has arguably one of the toughest draws compared to other top seeds at the Australian Open. Even so, she has rolled through Week 1 without dropping more than three games in a set.

Leading, 6-3, 3-2, in her third-round bout against Ons Jabeur, the No. 3 seed would encounter an unexpected obstacle. Just before beginning her service motion, a fan yelled "There's a butterfly on your leg!"

Osaka proceeded to delicately pick up the butterfly with her fingers and guide it safely off the court. But the beautiful tangerine-colored insect wasn't done and would fly black over to her and land softly on her cheek.

The No. 3 seed would not only win her match against the tricky Tunisian, but she would also win the cutest moment of the day.

Leading into Day 5's matches, world No. 1 Novak Djokovic had his own butterfly moment.

He managed to get past American Taylor Fritz in five sets while dealing with an injury to his right oblique muscle. The defending champion is scheduled to face Milos Raonic next.

There may be butterflies gliding around the courts, but Osaka doesn't seem to not have any butterflies in her stomach. She will face last year's Australian Open finalist Garbine Muguruza for a spot in the quarterfinals.
