filler hasn't been on the tv table yet, right? i've seen woj and he looked his usual self
Qatar World Cup 10-Ball 2026
- Thread starter jax_joe
- Start date
I think they showed Filler/Alnar on the stream, but that was a Stage 1 match.
While it is possible they will show Manas vs Maciol rather than Filler vs Szewczyk on the stream table, the latter, at least on paper, rates as one of the best matchups of the entire 2026 pool year. I hope they don't snub the fans by showing the lesser match. Of course, we know they might, as we're down to three Europeans and one Asian.

Maciol is hard to figure. He's had very good success in non-WNT events. He won the Qatar Open a few years ago. He's finished in the final four of the China Open a few times. He's had a lot of high finishes in Predator-WPA events.
By and large, he's been mediocre in WNT major events. He did get to the semis of the European Open in 2025 and the quarters of the same event in 2024. But aside from that. he's had a lot of 64-128 finishes.

I'd say his 10ball break is better than his 9ball break. He is a somewhat streaky player, but when he's on, no title lies beyond his potential grasp.
