on offer to cap a memorable clean sweep in the tennis competition of the 12th South Asian Games here today.
Ramkumar Ramanathan beat compatriot Saketh Myneni 7-5 6-3 in the men's singles final to clinch gold on the concluding day of the tennis event at the All Assam Tennis Association Grounds.
In the women's doubles final, also an all-Indian affair, the duo of Prarthana Thombre and Sharrmadaa Baluuishika took the gold after defeating the pair of Rishika Sunkara and Natasha Palha 7-5 2-6 10-4 in the final.
Indians won all the gold and silver medals on offer in five events -- men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles. Remarkably, finals of the five events were all-Indian affairs.
In men's doubles, Ramkumar Ramanathan and Vijay Prasanth had won gold after beating the pair of Divij Sharan and Sanam Singh 6-3 6-4.
Ankita Rana had won the gold in women's singles in another all-
