Greaves relates no pressure mindset to dartitis after Women's Series dominance: "I don’t know I could fall back into the trap"

Beau Greaves sealed four tournaments in a row and eight overall on the spin to seal the second spot on the PDC Women's Series and reach the World Darts Championship but for the 18-year-old, it was all about one thing after winning it.

“Me and my sister just wanted to get a KFC – I was absolutely starving," she said as per Daily Star.

“It’s a massive achievement, just to win one event at the weekend was good enough for me - but I did four!

“Now that people keep saying I’m going to Ally Pally, I keep forgetting that I’ve won eight events. To be fair, there was a lot more pressure on Fallon. I came into the weekend with nothing to lose.

“But to miss 12 events, play only two weekends and still make it to Ally Pally is brilliant. I also know I can do it under pressure, and that’s massive for me.

“I was just trying to be a ladies world champion - I did that earlier this year [in the inaugural WDF world championship], but I didn't think I could get to Ally Pally – not at any point, to be honest.

“I didn't realize I'd hit that 107 average – I was just in the zone. When I walked away, [PDC stage official] Owen Binks said to me, 'Have you seen your average?' and I replied, ‘What are you on about?' It didn’t feel like 107 at all. I was just playing that well.”

This comes after darting hell just over two years ago where Greaves suffered with dartitis and attributes her no pressure attitude due to that and not knowing whether it will come back.

“I think lockdown helped me getting my throw back. I lost my throw completely. It all went downhill," she continued.

“That’s why nowadays I talk so much about enjoyment and no pressure because if I don’t know I could fall back into the trap and I don’t want that at all.

“I think if I enjoy myself, my darts will flow. I might have the odd dart but that’s what you have to deal with when you have dartitis. But I’ve worked so hard to get back to a standard where I can play well – and this is only the beginning.”
