Germany's No.1 Joshua Filler said: "It's always been my dream to play one of the biggest events in my home country, Germany. This year with the European Open, we have just that. Come and support our players. Thorsten Hohmann, Ralf Souquet, and I, we're the main guys. These guys should be supported alongside the local players. We still have so many other great players from Germany. It will be interesting to see how good they will do. I think it's the first in however many years, the biggest event in Germany. It will be special. It would be amazing to win it and one of the biggest dreams I have."
