Former world number one Martina Navratilova has won the Italian Open doubles at the age of 46 - the 170th doubles title of her 28-year career.
Playing alongside 17-year-old Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia, the pair defeated Jelena Dokic and Nadia Petrova 6-4 5-7 6-2 for their third title together this season.
"I know I don't play as well as my best 20 years ago, but people don't care," said Navratilova.
"I love what I do. I have a passion for tennis and a passion for life.
"Svetlana helped me out today - I was playing terrible. She helps me, I help her."
Navratilova and Kuznetsova are aiming for another title together in the French Open later this month.
