"I had lot of requests" - Haase on babysitting during Coronavirus outbreak

Haase had a lengthy career on ATP Tour. The Dutchman reached his maximum back in 2012 when he was number 33 in the ATP Ranking. Now, during the Coronavirus outbreak, Robin has decided to help others by babysitting their children.

“I had a lot of requests and that was great, but could only do so much because you put yourself and others at risk by being around a lot of people. I did it two times, though, and it was really fun and nice to help out. The only babysitting I’d ever done before was for a nephew about 15 years ago. So I didn’t really have any experience, but it worked out well," Robin Haase said. "For the first two-and-a-half weeks, I was helping others non-stop. For one kids’ 10th birthday, he normally celebrates by going with his parents to a restaurant. Since the restaurant was closed, I decided to buy a game and bring it to him myself. When it was my birthday, he surprised me with a video message, which was very nice of him," said Haase.

“A guy also messaged me who had been working out for several months and asked if I’d go running with him to help him stay motivated. We haven’t done it yet because he lives two-and-a-half hours away. But it’s a great idea and something that I’d really like to do. You can do it outside and be spaced apart from each other. But it’s also an activity to do together and I think that’s important now. I always try to help other people whether or not I’m playing tournaments. I just didn’t put it out on social media or the news because I enjoyed doing it, but it was also for them,” Haase said.
