Can anyone stop Beau Greaves at Women’s World Matchplay? 🤷 Michael Bridge and Matthew Edgar give their predictions 🔮
"I wouldn't be surprised if any of them won it" says Matthew Edgar on Women's World Matchplay albeit with one overwhelming favourite

On the final day of the World Matchplay, the Women's World Matchplay will also be played. Eight ladies will hunt for glory at Blackpool's Winter Gardens. Beau Greaves, who particularly impressed at this tournament last year, will try to extend her title there.
Greaves, who made her debut at last year's Women's World Matchplay, lost only four legs in the entire tournament, beating Mikuru Suzuki 6-1 in the final. Suzuki became world champion at the BDO in 2019 and 2020, but in the meantime Greaves has taken over her role at the top.
"A couple of years ago, Suzuki was the player. She was dominating those women's World Championships, sort of COVID took Suzuki out and now coming back into form," said former Tour Card holder Matthew Edgar.
"Similar to Lisa (Ashton) in the COVID situation, when she got her card. It's been tough for her. I'd love a fairytale story for Lisa. But the only issue I have with Mikuru in PDC events when they're televised is that it can sometimes feel like it can potentially get to her," responded presenter Michael Bridge.
Beau Greaves also won the WDF Women's World Cup twice
Sherrock
Greaves may be the top favorite for overall victory in Blackpool, yet Edgar sees other candidates for the title. "It's hard to look past Beau. I wouldn't be surprised if any of them won it. To be safe you'd go with Beau. If we're not going for safety, I'm going to go with Fallon (Sherrock)."
Incidentally, the first edition of the Women's World Matchplay was won by Sherrock, who was then too strong for Aileen de Graaf in the final, 6-3. Sherrock will take on Anastasia Dobromyslova in the first round this year. Greaves will meet Ireland's Katie Sheldon.
The Women's World Matchplay takes place Sunday afternoon July 21 and can be followed live in the UK on Sky Sports and in Holland on Viaplay.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
