FRANKFURT(AP) Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker told a live television audience that he will marry Dutch girlfriend Lilly Kerssenberg on June 12 in Switzerland.

Becker used a popular variety show to announce his wedding plans late Saturday. Both he and his girlfriend appeared on the ``Wetten dass...'' (Bet you) show.

The former tennis star acknowledged that he had ``taken a wrong turn'' last summer, when he announced his engagement to Sandy Meyer-Woelden, the daughter of his late former manager. It was broken off after a few weeks and he has been forgiven by Kerssenberg.

``Now I don't want to let her go,'' Becker said.

Becker has two sons with his former wife Barbara and a daughter from a brief relationship with a London-based model.
