Lisa Ashton and Mikuru Suzuki face each other in the final of the Women's World Championship on Saturday evening in London.
Remarkably, the two women met each other in the first round last year. At that time, Suzuki was a relatively unknown Japanese qualifier, while Ashton was the defending champion at Lakeside.
The match was won by Suzuki in two sets, before she also claimed her first world title. The Miracle won both sets with 3-2 against the 49-year-old from Bolton.
The Japanese won three of the four previous encounters with The Lancashire Rose. However Ashton claimed the victory in their most recent meeting in May 2019.

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
