London - A High Court judge yesterday named German former tennis star Boris Becker as the father of a Russian model's daughter, formally ending their long-running paternity row.

A "declaration of paternity" was granted by the judge in a case started two months ago on behalf of Angela Ermakova's child Anna, one year old today. Becker (33) accepted he was the father following DNA tests.
