“It just proves that women can beat the men” – Fallon Sherrock hails fellow trailblazer Beau Greaves after historic PDC title win takes breakthrough to new level

The moment Beau Greaves lifted a PDC ranking title for the first time, it did more than add another milestone to an already remarkable rise. It shifted the conversation again. What once felt like a breakthrough moment is now starting to look like a sustained reality.

No one understands that shift better than Fallon Sherrock, who carved her own place in darts history at the PDC World Darts Championship with landmark victories over Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic. Speaking to Sky Sports during Night 13 of the Premier League Darts in Aberdeen, Sherrock made clear what Greaves’ latest achievement represents.

“It’s an incredible achievement. Do you know what? It just proves that women can beat the men,” she said. “The Pro Tour has the top men in the world and to come out on top of all that is just incredible.”

Greaves’ victory at Players Championship 11 was not an isolated result. It was the latest step in a run that has already redefined expectations. She has reached a World Youth Championship final after beating Luke Littler in the semi finals, secured a PDC Tour Card through the Development Tour, produced a nine darter on the ProTour and now claimed a ranking title against a field packed with the sport’s elite.

That sequence is what gives Sherrock’s words their weight. Her own Ally Pally run proved that the barrier could be broken. Greaves is now showing that it can be broken again and again, across formats and over time.

The difference is not just symbolic. Winning a PDC ranking event demands consistency across a full day against the deepest fields in the sport. It is a level of repeatable performance that moves the narrative on from one off moments to something far more difficult for the rest of the field to ignore.

For Sherrock, the context is personal as well as professional. Her wins on the Alexandra Palace stage forced a reassessment of what was possible for women in darts. But she also knows how difficult it is to maintain that level across the wider PDC circuit.

“My game is basically alright. I’m happy, I can hit a couple of hundred averages but then again I can hit a couple of low 80s so I just need to get the consistency,” she said.

That honesty underlines the scale of what Greaves is beginning to build. The challenge has never been producing a headline result. It has always been sustaining that level across the relentless demands of the tour. Greaves’ recent run suggests that this next phase is already underway.

The significance of this moment lies in what comes next. Sherrock showed that women could compete on the biggest stage. Greaves is now forcing the question of how often, and how far that competitiveness can go.

With a Tour Card secured and a first ranking title already in the bank, the trajectory is clear. The conversation is no longer about whether women can beat the men. It is about how regularly it will happen, and at what level of the sport.

Sherrock’s verdict was simple. The implications are anything but.
