2026 Predator Luxembourg Open
KILLER FILLERS RETURN FOR LUXEMBOURG SHOWDOWN
6th May 2026
MAKING A WELCOME return to the Predator Euro Tour are the dynamic German husband and wife duo of Joshua and Pia Filler to compete in the Predator Luxembourg Open events which get underway on Thursday morning at 10.00 local time. 10-ball is the game this week with the men initially playing races to seven while the women race to five. It’s alternate break, with players breaking two consecutive racks per turn. There are 164 runners in the men’s division, while the women’s has 55.
Back in European action is Josh Filler who has had a very successful start to 2026 as the season gears up for a succession of major tournaments. A winner of the Predator Las Vegas Open as well as claiming the Derby City 9-Ball title, Filler makes his first Euro Tour appearance since St Johann in Austria last June. Without doubt his record on Europe’s pre-eminent tour over the past few years is something most players could only dream about. Eight championship victories in four years are testament to his dominance.
He said, “I remember the last 10-ball Euro Tour I played was in Treviso last year and I won. Of course, I’m full of confidence and always looking forward to play in a Euro Tour as it always is good competition. My biggest goal this year is to win the Predator World 10-Ball Championship as I would then have won all possible World Championships. Other than that, I’m always targeting to win a couple of big majors each year.”
Having recently moved into a new home, the Fillers now have a prime practice facility on site, making their training regime all the more comfortable.
Joshua added, “We always made sure to have good practice and preparation opportunities, so it hasn’t changed a lot but having the tables just down the stairs definitely leads to spending even more time at the table as we did anyways.”
Whilst her partner has been taking down titles, Pia Filler has hardly been asleep at the wheel. Currently ranked at No.2 by the World Pool Association and No.4 on the Predator Women’s Euro Tour, the young German seems yet to have hit her ceiling as her career progresses at pace.
However, she is far from resting on her laurels: “It’s definitely good to see that I’m very stable and successful over the past couple years. However, I’m not looking at how proud I am, for me it’s more about constantly working on becoming even better as I’m always hungry for more.”
With WPA World Ranking points now available on both men’s and women’s Euro Tours, Pia said, “I think it brings great value to the Women’s Euro Tour and I’m just very happy to witness, and being part of how the Euro Tour has been growing and being professionalized since Predator got involved. It creates good opportunities for all of us.”
Finally, she commented on their new, improved practice opportunities; “We’ve had our own private practice room before and always made sure to have the best possible conditions but it’s definitely next level to just have it all under the same roof and now, pool is the first thing to do in the morning… right after coffee!”
Joshua Fller get’s his Luxembourg campaign underway tomorrow afternoon at 16.00 against Poland’s Adam Stankiewicz, while Pia will be in action when the women’s event starts on Friday.
