Tanner Surrenders
Tennis player Roscoe Tanner surrendered to authorities in Somerville, N.J., to face prosecution for failing to pay child support.
Tanner, 45, was photographed, fingerprinted and released after posting $10,000 bail for willful non-support of a child he fathered with Connie Romano.
Tanner, a married father of four, met Romano in May 1993 and had a brief affair with her that produced a daughter, Omega Anne Romano, officials said.
Tanner won the Australian Open in 1977, was a finalist at Wimbledon in 1979 and reached the U.S. Open semifinals twice. At Indian Wells, Calif., two-time Newsweek Cup champion Jim Courier was upset in a first-round match by unseeded Francisco Clavet of Spain 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
Top seed Arantxa Sanchez Vicario breezed into the quarterfinals of the $1.25 million Evert Cup in Indian Wells, Calif., by beating Asa Carlsson of Sweden, 6-1, 6-3, in the third round.
