Earlier this year Ruwen went all the way to the final of Belarus Open 2015 where he lost to Li Ping . But let's just not talk about that tournament. Let us talk about Ruwen in general in the past 3 or 4 years. First of all - Ruwen is a modern type defender. We all know what that means - he chops with long pimples on backhand (Butterfly Feint Long 3) and attacks and loops with inverted rubber on the forehand (Butterfly Tenergy 05). To find more about Ruwen Filus i suggest you go here. His game play reminds me of Chen Weixing, only a little bit slower, but on the other side, a little bit safer to twiddle inverted rubber to backhand and to produce great spin. Overall he and Gionis Panagiotis represent current modern table tennis defenders.

Anyway, Ruwen managed to go all the way to semi finals, where he lost to his compatriot Dimitrij Ovtcharov in a close match 4-3 (11-8, 11-13, 8-11, 11-4, 11-8, 2-11, 12-10)
