Is there any difference between SVN rename and delete, add

I have renamed a file from file explorer then I added the new file to SVN and deleted the previous file from terminal. and then the svn showing

D <FileName>
A <NewFileName>

Once I did svn rename I found that svn is also doing the same thing 

D <FileName>
A <NewFileName>

Is there any difference between svn rename and svn delete, add?

Yes, there is. Subversion records moves and renames as svn copy followed by svn delete, and beginning with SVN 1.9 saves a link between the source and target file.
