Goa Challengers will look to build on the winning start in IndianOil Ultimate Table Tennis Season 4 when they face Puneri Paltan Table Tennis at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Mahalunge-Balewadi in Pune on Monday (July 17).
Goa Challengers are fresh from a victory over last season's finalist Dabang Delhi TTC. Harmeet Desai and Alvaro Robles will be the key players for the Goa-based franchise after their dominating victories in the last tie.

"Beating a strong side like Dabang Delhi certainly gives us a lot of confidence going into our upcoming tie in the league. All of the players played brilliantly and we didn't expect to win with such a big margin, so, it is definitely a confidence booster ahead of our tie against Puneri Paltan," commented Harmeet ahead of the tie.
He added, "We will just like to continue the way we have played in our first tie. All the players have been moulded in this environment really well and want to give their best in the league."
On the other hand, hosts Puneri Paltan TT, who lost their last tie, will look to register their first victory in Season 4 following their campaign opening loss to Chennai Lions. All eyes will be on Hana Matelova, who was the only paddler from Puneri Paltan to win a match in their last tie.
"It's an honour to be a part of the franchise and I would like to continue the way I performed in the first tie of Season 4. I am looking forward to play with my teammates and we will try to go as far as possible in the tournament," she stated ahead of the match.
