Greaves thrashes Van Leuven to open PDC Women's World Matchplay, meets Byrne in semi-finals

Beau Greaves and Robyn Byrne are the first two semi-finalists at the Women's World Matchplay 2023 in Blackpool. They will take on each other in the last four later on Sunday.

Greaves quite easily disposed of debutant Noa-Lynn van Leuven, who had two chances to get on the scoreboard. After Greaves took the first leg with a 16-darter, the 19-year-old missed seven darts in the second. That gave Van Leuven two chances for a leg, but they were not taken. Greaves then still found the double and ran out to a 4-0 victory.

The second quarterfinal was exciting though. Byrne took the lead twice early in the match against Rhian O'Sullivan, but a 12-darter made it 2-3 for the Welsh player. However, with a 17-darter and a 95 finish, the win then went to Byrne after all.

They sit in the opposite half of the draw to the current ongoing Quarter-Final with Aileen de Graaf - Mikuru Suzuki and Fallon Sherrock - Lisa Ashton with Greaves favourite to reach the final out of the top half.

How much prize money is up for grabs at the Women's World Matchplay

The top eight players in the PDC Women's Series get to share a £25,000 prize pool. The eight participants are all guaranteed £1250 in prize money.

A win in the quarter-finals doubles that amount to £2,500. The losing finalist will go home with £5000. A cheque for £10,000 pounds awaits the first winner of the Women's World Matchplay.
