Tennis: Becker pays for affair

Boris Becker is to pay about $US5000 ($12,440) a month in child support to a Russian model who had a baby girl after a brief affair with Germany's former tennis star.

A settlement was reached in London last week, but the details were not revealed until yesterday.

Becker would also have to have a house for baby Anna and her mother, Angela Ermakova, built in London.

They will be able to live there until the child grows up and finishes her education.

The support payments are also to run until Anna finishes her studies.
