TURIN, Italy — His beard is full of gray hair. His knees have no cartilage left in them. And his fitness routine requires daily yoga sessions and midnight ice baths. But Indian doubles specialist Rohan Bopanna is still going strong at the age of 44. Strong enough that he's finishing up a breakthrough season in his 21st year on tour. A season that included Bopanna's first Grand Slam men's doubles title with partner Matthew Ebden at the Australian Open in January. The title made him the oldest man to win such a trophy and the oldest to reach No. 1 in the doubles rankings. Bopanna and Ebden are playing at the ATP Finals this week.
