Lisa Ashton Interview: “Maybe they could have a Ladies Grand Slam, wouldn’t that be great”

DartsNews.com recently had the opportunity to interview “The Lancashire Rose” Lisa Ashton after her England Open triumph.

As well as asking about Ashton recent title win, the topics included the Challenge Tour, BDO World Trophy and the PDC World Championship as well as the Grand Slam. A. My brothers needed someone to practice with so they asked me, well until I started winning then they stopped asking so much. A. Aileen is a fantastic player, total respect, however I just concentrate on my game and hope it’s good enough on the day. It was an amazing feeling to win the English open because it was one I hadn’t won before. A. Anastasia is playing great at the moment very consistent, my form isnt bad but not as consistent as Anastasia and Fallon have been at the moment. “That’s the game of darts”. A. I would love to play in something like that, however to avoid myself from being disappointed if it doesn’t happen I try not to think to much about such matters until they are in black and white. A. I like the opportunity of improving my game and that gave me the chance to play against some top quality players so what’s not to love. I wish I could do more. A. I would love to play in the grand slam, I also think a lot of fans would like to see some ladies play in it. Maybe they could have a ladies grand slam wouldn’t that be great. A. It’s very tough out there with so many great players, not easy to win a major but if you do it’s the best feeling ever because you know you have had to beat some phenomenal ladies to do it.
