It was double delight for Delhi on the tennis court. They annexed both the men's and women's team titles at the 33rd National Games in Guwahati on Thursday.
The men's final was a repeat of the previous summit clash, as Delhi blanked Tamil Nadu 2-0 to retain the gold they won in the last edition of the Games, at Hyderabad in 2002.
Delhi then sped past West Bengal by a similar score in the women's summit clash.
Divij Sharan, the tournament's top-ranked player, played a solid net game to chalk out a 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) victory over the seasoned Kamala Kannan in the second singles of the men's team final at the Chanchal tennis complex in the morning.
The match was suspended on Wednesday evening because of rain, but Divij, up 2-1 when play resumed, showed no lapse in focus or form to wrap it up in an hour and 55 minutes.
On Wednesday, Navdeep Singh put Delhi ahead, getting the better of V M Ranjith in the first singles 6-4, 7-5.
The two losing semi-finalists Maharashtra and West Bengal bagged the bronze.
In the women's gold medal fight, Delhi's Vishika Chetry scripted a convincing 6-4, 6-2 victory over Shivika Burman before Parul Goswami humbled Ragini Vimal by an identical score in the second singles.
Maharashtra and Karnataka took the bronze medals.
