Joshua Filler heads to the UK Open as the defending champion after producing one of the most dominant performances in Matchroom Major history in 2026. The German superstar dismantled Poland’s Wojciech Szewczyk 13-1 in the final to become the first player ever to win the UK Open title twice.
Living up to his nickname ‘The Killer’, Filler delivered a ruthless display throughout the championship match, adding another major title to a résumé that already includes the World Pool Championship, US Open, European Open, and multiple Mosconi Cup triumphs. One of the most decorated players of his generation, Filler remains one of the favourites whenever he steps into the arena.
