Greaves makes her debut on the PDC Pro Tour this week. In January, she won two of the first five Challenge Tour tournaments, putting her at the top of the Challenge Tour Order of Merit. That position allows her to compete as an alternate in the Players Championship tournaments when one or more Tour Card holders fail to register or cancel.
On Monday at Players Championship 1, she already played a good match, but then lost 6-4 to Owen Bates. The draw for Tuesday's tournament produced a duel with former World Youth Champion Rock, but Greaves brought the match to a successful conclusion.
A 17-darter and a 13-darter gave Greaves a 2-0 lead early in the match and a 13-darter later made it 3-2 for the Englishwoman. Rock then took three legs in a row to lead 5-3 after eight legs.
Then Greaves began her comeback. After Rock missed a matchdart on the bullseye, Greaves narrowed the deficit to 5-4 with a 16-darter. Then the world's best women's dart player conjured a 12-darter and an 11-darter from her arsenal to win 6-5. In addition, Greaves also posted a stunning 102.77 average thanks to six 180 scores.
