Davis cup India vs Sweden at DLTA centre court
2 more images

DLTA, or the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association, is the top tennis body in Delhi. There are many professional programmes running there and coaching and training facilities.
There are 16 hard courts and 2 grass courts, a swimming pool, gym, and a pro shop too within the campus.
The venue also hosts Davis Cup tournaments often, where top tennis action takes place, and it usually attracts large crowds of students and other tennis enthusiasts like me...
Some of my vivid davis cup memories are India vs Croatia, vs USA, vs Chile, vs Sweden, etc...
I remember some of Leander Paes' big Davis Cup upset wins at this venue (apart from one famous one against Goran Ivanisevic at NSCI)
Also, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi (former world no 1 Doubles team) combined as a formidable team, and have played here often...

Nehru stadium, during the commonwealth games.
4 more images

The commonwealth games 2010 held in the city, have meant a lot of new sports infrastructure being created... New and rennovated stadiums are littered all across the city now. Its a challenge on how to utilise this fresh capacity now that the games are over.

Also, the Delhi Development Authority has a number of sports complexes around the city.
They offer a range of options- golf, tennis, hockey, soccer, basketball, badminton, swimming, fitness centers and of course cricket- amongst other sports.

The Siri Fort sports complex is one of the first, and probably one that offers the best facilities, including several new ones built or the commonwealth games...
Membership can be corporate membership, or even temporary 3 months and daily casual usage options.

Equipment: Golf clubs and balls can be rented... for most other sports, you get your own stuff.
