The 2021 U.S. Open Pool Championship (previously U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship) was an international nine-ball pool tournament held from 13 to 18 September 2021 in Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City, New Jersey.[1] It was the 44th entry of the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships, first held in 1976.[2] Joshua Filler was the defending champion, having won the 2019 U.S. Open Nine-ball Championship. However, Filler lost 4–11 to Aloysius Yapp and 3–11 to Mieszko Fortuński, eliminating him from the tournament. Carlo Biado defeated Yapp 13–8 in the final to become one of the few Filipino players to win the tournament along with Alex Pagulayan in 2005 and Efren Reyes in 1994.[3]
