Jax Men’s Open
Results
Recap
Published July 10, 2026
Joshua Filler added another title to his already impressive résumé, claiming the Jax Men's Open in Jacksonville for the Pro Billiard Series on December 16, 2025. The German star, known on tour as "The Killer," dispatched Robbie Capito in the final to take home the championship — a result that will come as little surprise to anyone who has followed Filler's trajectory through the back half of 2025.
Filler arrived in Jacksonville carrying serious momentum. Earlier in 2025, he had stormed to the European Open Pool Championship title with a dominant 13-1 win over Naoyuki Oi in Sarajevo, per Matchroom Pool. That run of form carried through to Jacksonville, where he once again proved to be the most difficult player in the field to slow down.
Robbie Capito made his way to the final and deserves credit for reaching that stage in a Pro Billiard Series event against a field that included one of pool's top-ranked competitors. Capito, a respected name in American pool circles, made the final legitimate — but Filler's level of play on the day proved to be the deciding factor.
The win adds to what has been a standout stretch for the 28-year-old from Bönen, Germany. A two-time World Champion — having claimed the WPA World Nine-ball title in 2018 and the Eight-ball crown in 2024 per Wikipedia — Filler has shown no signs of slowing down on either the international or regional circuit. His willingness to compete across multiple tours and event types keeps him sharp and visible in a way few players at his level manage consistently.
For the Pro Billiard Series, landing Filler as a champion at a Jacksonville stop brings welcome attention to the regional tour. Events like the Jax Men's Open serve as proving grounds for American talent, and when a player of Filler's standing enters the draw and wins, it elevates the profile of every competitor who made a deep run. Capito's runner-up finish is a result worth noting heading into 2026.
