Wiktor Zielinski snapped off the 2026 Super Billiards Expo title, claiming his first ranking event victory of the year with a dominant 10–4 win over Hubert Łopotko.
Zielinski was the youngest player to win a Euro Tour event, following his victory in the 2017 Treviso Open at just 16 years old. The Pole has grown into one of the deadliest players in the game, reaching the quarterfinals of the 2025 UK Open Pool Championship. His first WNT Ranking success came in Slovenia in 2023, landing the Ljubljana Mezz Open.
Having emerged as a top-16 player, with consecutive World Pool Masters appearances and further ranking success at this season’s McDermott Classic, Zielinski is showing that his potential is blossoming into ability.

The World Pool Masters is one of nineball’s longest-running invitational tournaments. First staged in Plymouth, England in 1993, it has been won by players including Francisco Bustamante, Shane Van Boening and Joshua Filler, giving each new field a place to pursue among the sport’s established champions.
The event’s recent editions have used a straight-knockout format, placing immediate pressure on a select field: one defeat ends a player’s challenge. The 2027 tournament brings together 20 players at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei City from 12–14 January, following the Chinese Taipei Open at the same venue.
For the first time, the Masters will feature a two-table arena, with matches from both tables available live on WNT TV. The move to Chinese Taipei opens a new chapter for a competition with more than three decades of history.
