This annual tournament is an opportunity for the state to watch some of the best players in the country in action.”
“I strongly believe that such kinds of tournaments will encourage the younger generation to take up the sport and think about it as a career. We are very pleased to introduce the men’s doubles category which isn’t organized in Goa and the women’ singles category for this year’s edition,” added Joel.
