Olympian Alvaro Robles: Olympian Alvaro Robles delivered a flawless performance as Dempo Goa Challengers became the first team to book their place in the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) Season 7, defeating former champions Dabang Delhi TTC 8-2 in the first semi-final in Panaji on Friday.

The Spaniard starred in both the men's singles and mixed doubles as Goa extended their remarkable unbeaten run and moved one step closer to the title.

Goa made the most of their fast start, racing into an early lead before sealing the contest in the fourth match. While Maria Xiao briefly halted the hosts' momentum with a comeback victory over Bernadette Szocs, Robles and teenager Syndrela Das combined to put Goa on the brink before Abhinandh PB closed out the tie with a composed win over Delhi captain Sathiyan Gnanasekaran.
