Debut season The
2011/2012 snooker season was Filipiak's first as a professional. At the age of 15 he became the youngest professional player (the record has since been taken by fellow Polish player
Michał Szubarczyk in 2025). Filipiak performed impressively at the
Snooker World Cup, beating the likes of
John Higgins,
Stephen Maguire and
Marco Fu in the singles matches; this led to him being tipped as a future world champion by
Ronnie O'Sullivan. However, his results in the ranking tournaments were disappointing: he entered five of the eight ranking events, but failed to win a single match, picking just four frames during the season. Filipiak also had a poor set of results in the
PTC events throughout the season, as he played in 10 of the 12 tournaments but did not win a match. He finished the year ranked world number 86, out of the top 64 who retained their places for the
2012/2013 season. Filipiak entered Q School in a bid to win a place for the upcoming season and played in all three events without picking up a single victory and dropped off the main snooker tour. He entered
Q School in 2014 but was unable to win enough matches to earn a main tour card. He played in three of the six
European Tour events in the
2014/2015 season with his only win coming at the
Gdynia Open, where he beat
Gerard Greene 4–2, before falling 4–0 to
Oliver Lines in the second round. He once again had an unsuccessful Q School. Filipiak lost in the quarter-finals of the
2015 IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship 6–5 to
Josh Boileau. After beating
Gerard Greene 4–3 at the
Gdynia Open, Filipiak made his televised debut in the second round against
Andrew Higginson and lost 4–3. He won the 2019
EBSA European Snooker Championship. He therefore gained a two-year professional tour card to return to the tour for the
2019/2020 and
2020/2021 seasons. At the end of the 2020/2021 season, Filipiak was ranked 86th, and therefore lost his place on the tour. He announced his retirement from professional snooker following a 6-3 defeat to
Zhao Xintong during the third qualifying round of the
2021 World Snooker Championship. ==Performance and rankings timeline==
