Filler, the last seed in the draw, ended world No. 1 Wojciech Szewczyk's week 11-9 on table 17, while Manas won a hill-hill revenge tie against 2024 champion Daniel Macioł 11-10 on table 16, avenging his Stage-1 defeat to the Pole.

Filler topples the world No. 1
Szewczyk arrived at the semi-final unbeaten through four knockout rounds and was level with Filler at 7-7 on table 17. The German won four of the last six racks from there, closing out 11-9 to reach his second major final of 2026 — he beat Szewczyk 13-1 in May's UK Open title match.
The result ends a remarkable week for the Pole, who came through the losers' side of the double-elimination phase and ousted defending champion Jonas Magpantay before Thursday's defeat.
Manas turns the tables on Macioł
The second semi-final was a rematch of a Stage-1 qualifier that Macioł won 9-4 — and for long spells it looked like going the same way. The 2024 champion led 8-4 and 9-7 before Manas forced a decider, then took the hill-hill rack to complete an 11-10 comeback and keep the Philippines' flag flying into the final.
The final — Thursday evening

The race to 13 is worth $100,000 to the champion and $40,000 to the runner-up — the biggest single prize of the week.
