UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31

The elite young guys seem unfazed by Filler. Gorst (for the most part), Little Ko, Yapp, Chua, and Kaci. But I think Filler has a big psychological advantage over most of the older elite pros.

Filler was the most demonstrative this tournament in his final rack beating Feijin. Niels has beaten Filler several times in the last few years. Filler knew he dodged a bullet on Saturday vs Feijin, who gave him all he could handle. So he was psyched up when he finally won.

Niels isn’t intimidated by anyone. More players need his mental toughness. Shaw fell apart against him. Naoyuki Oy did last year. Wojo hasn’t had great success vs Josh.
