Brilliant Beau Greaves wins 2024 Women's World Matchplay with sensational performance in final against Fallon Sherrock

Sunday, 21 July 2024 at 17:31

Beau Greaves has taken the title at the Women's World Matchplay for the second time in her career after a 6-3 win over Fallon Sherrock in the final at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool on Sunday afternoon, as the two biggest names in ladies' darts provided a top quality contest.

For Sherrock, the route to the final included a whitewash win over Anastasia Dobromyslova and an incredibly dramatic semi-final over Lisa Ashton, surviving 7 missed matchdarts from the 'Lancashire Rose' in the process. Greaves meanwhile, saw off Katie Sheldon in the opening match of the afternoon before defeating Mikuru Suzuki in the semi-finals.

Although both had been markedly below their best en route to the final, the nervousness seemed to have evaporated in the early stages as Greaves broke the throw in leg 1 before storming to leg 2 and taking her average to around the 110 mark. Sherrock was far from playing badly herself though, and thanks in part to her second 180 of the contest already, got off the mark in leg 3 with a 13-darter. With a 14-dart break of the throw in the following leg, Sherrock was back on level terms.

With the standard continuing to be incredibly high, Greaves broke the Sherrock throw again in leg 5 with a 15-darter finished on double 10. Still averaging up over 104, Greaves then held in leg 6 to move back to two legs clear. Back to back 180s in leg 7, finished off with a 75 checkout and the world champion was one away from defending her title and threatening a record high average for a woman on TV.

Despite Greaves having the darts in the next leg, Sherrock fought back and kept herself alive at 5-3 behind. As Greaves' level began to dip ever so slightly, Sherrock was sensing an opportunity but it wasn't to be as Greaves sealed her second successive World Matchplay title with a final average of 98.75 and four 180s, with 60% on the doubles.

Well done Ladies for a great final. The best woman player in the World won and the second best player gave us a final worth watching , but it appeared to me that SKY and the duffer commentating were desperate for fallon to win the final. I can honestly say i havn't heard more biased commentating for a long time! Well done ladies! To SKY, Must do better! And to the SKY commentator, Your fave came second!!

Yes it was a good final, it was always going to be Beau who won. Beau did seem nervous but congratulations Beau. SKY always suck up to and favour Fallon. I liked Fallon but SKY have put me off her. SKY also know Fallon would have taken the bounty of a PDC World Championship place. Beau will and wants to become a triple World Champion. I was disappointed with Anastasia but she has been off the scene a while. As mentioned I am not a fan of Fallon but I was hoping that there would have been a influx of new talented ladies coming through the sport. It just hasn't happened yet apart from the nonsensical transgenders. I still don't know why the PDC can't blend a ladies World Championship into the men's championship like they do at Blackpool Matchplay.

Agreed, Richie. Greaves is on another level at present. Not forgetting, Mikuru Suzuki... she beat the imposter 4 - 2 in an earlier round. Sherrock was okay to me... but as you typed, she has far too much favouritism going on for her and it is quite blatantly obvious. Overall, I have enjoyed the darts this weekend... with the bonus of seeing MVG humbled - yet again.

I just watched the highlights of the woman's final. Don't get what they said in favor of either player. Guess people always see what they're looking for, but I was looking for it and didn't see it.
