Luulen, että se on hieman haastavaa, kun hänellä on niin paljon kiinnostusta. Joten en ole varma, että se saattaa tulla hänelle. Miksi Naomi Osaka's unusual tennis outfits have caused a stir at the French Open?

There was a press conference earlier today and the Attorney General Michelle Rowland said that the government wanted to hold 3M and 3M Australia to account for what it called economic and environmental harms associated with PFAS. So these are like non-stick water resistant properties that can be found not just in firefighting phones, but mobile phones, clothing, non-stick cooking pans and water.

The government said that the misconduct has contributed to substantial costs for defence, because this foam has been found in 28 defence bases across Australia. But it's contributed to costs for defence and costs for the Australian taxpayer, including one billion Australian dollars, which is to date to investigate, remediate, mitigating the contamination at these relevant sites. And what has 3M said about all this?

So they have said that they are prepared to defend themselves, that they never made this foam in Australia and that they stopped selling the foam in Australia 20 years ago. And pointed out that the Department of Defense kept using the foams for two decades after it stopped selling the product in Australia. Do we know how long this case will take?

This is very early stages. The fact that they have announced the legal action, and as you said, this is the largest claim ever brought by the government. So now it's got to go through the legal processes, so 3M will obviously have to mount its defence. So no, we're incredibly early stages in this. Katie Watson in Sydney.

I don't think I've ever seen outfits quite like the ones that Naomi Osaka has turned up in. I mean in Australia in January she turned up in, it's hard to even describe it, but it was a very wide brimmed hat with sort of fabric draping down. She was wearing a parasol and she said it was inspired by a jellyfish. And actually if you kind of had the image of a jellyfish and what she was wearing it was quite closely matched.

But this year she has come on court in something that I've never ever seen anything quite like it, which is...

erittäin rauhallinen pääosakkeen osa, mutta sitten oli hieno, pitkä, valkoinen, valkoinen, valkoinen, valkoinen, valkoinen, valkoinen,

mutta erittäin rauhallisia. Hän sanoi myös itselleen, että me olemme Ruotsissa ja Eiffel-tau on usein hyvin rauhallinen yö ja minusta näyttää vähän niin. Onko hän pelannut mielipiteitä ympärille? Luulen, että sinun täytyy olla erittäin uskomattomassa mahdollisuudessa elämään sitä, mitä olet juuri tehnyt kohti.

So I think it must be a little bit tricky for her opponents when there's so much attention on her. So I have no doubt that it probably does get into the minds of her opponents. Her opponent that she beat in the first round, Laura Siegman, did say, oh well, you know, it's not a fashion show out here, I'm here to play tennis kind of thing. But Osaka won that match. I mean, it was fairly close, but she won it.

I would think it would be a little bit of a distraction, but then for some players who are quite feisty or competitive, they might see it as fuel. They might see, right, well, you know, you're walking out in these outfits, but I'm going to put you in your place, so let's see what happens. But I do think it's incredibly brave, but I also think she's clearly kind of taking...

A flamboyant tennis performer and that arguably that's damaging to the game. Well, that's quite interesting, isn't it? I mean, I would say that was probably typical of Laura Siegman to sort of pose that question. But at the same time, I do think that tennis is part of the entertainment business. And I'm sure that the organisers, certainly here at Rowan Garros or even in Australia when she wore that outfit, they would love tennis.
