In one of the first matches of the day, Joshua started his campaign with a decisive 9-0 victory against GJ Oyangoren to earn a spot on the winners’ side, while Pia overcame a deficit to overcome Talal Abdullah Shaheen in a hill-hill finish. As the evening got underway, Pia earned her second victory of the day, this time defeating Ramazan Akdag 9-6. The stars were starting to line up.
The Posh and Becks of Pool advanced through day two of the first European Open Pool Championship at Hotel Esperanto, Fulda in Germany, live on the Matchroom Pool Facebook/YouTube and Matchroom.Live, setting up a meeting between Joshua and Pia Filler in winners qualification tomorrow.
Joshua was struggling and behind Raphael Wahl
Pia’s victory occurred at the same time, a fellow countryman and old sparring buddy, 5-0. At 8-4, Wahl was the first to the hill, and it appeared that he would defeat Joshua just as in the past. However, the two had taken different routes since they were juniors. Over 100 spectators gathered around their table to see the outcome, and Joshua displayed grit and experience as the recent UK Open and World Pool Masters champion finished out an incredible comeback to win it and finally meet his wife Pia at this level of competition.
“I am quite happy. I was really hoping to face Josh in this competition. I fought tenaciously to get here, and now we are. I am impatient. Piana Filler
“That game was on the verge of collapse. I was devastated because I knew she was going to win. Then, I was more tense. We desired to mock one another. I did my best, and fortunately, I succeeded. I was down 6-1. Raph and I went through junior high together. He beat me in a few finals, and I beat him in a couple. The environment was wild. I liked it. It was great fun for me. In the end, I had luck on my side. I’m glad to have finished. Josh Filler
We simply do business as normal. It goes without saying that he is my true love, yet tomorrow he will stand in my way for 90 minutes. -Piana Filler
