Aleksa Pecelj

Aleksa Pecelj first drew attention on the biggest stages in 2023, finishing 9th at the World Pool Championship before reaching the semi-finals of the US Open Pool Championship — his first top-four finish at a major. He backed that up with a WNT ranking title at the Longoni Visoko Open the same year.

The Serbian returned to form in 2026, finishing runner-up at the inaugural Arizona Open before winning the Phoenix Open the following week for his first WNT title in three years.
