Fallon Sherrock has made history as the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship as she defeated Ted Evetts in one of the greatest moments in the history of the tournament.
Sherrock averaged 91 in the end but averaged 95 throughout; hitting six 180's and 38 percent on the doubles with finishes of 106 and 100; as she came from a set behind to claim victory.
Evetts claimed the first leg but Sherrock showed her brilliance; by smashing in a 180 and 106 checkout for one a piece.
The Milton Keynes ace was averaging around the 95 mark constantly and really gave Evetts a game in the first set but it was 'Super Ted' who took the first set 3-1 with him not buckling under the pressure.
Like alluded to Sherrock averaged around that amount and that brought the multiple BDO major champion a set which she could hardly believe herself as she walked off stage having won the set 3-1 with three 180s so far including having going six darts into a nine-darter. Could Fallon do the unthinkable?
Sherrock continued her excellent play by hitting her fourth 180 and a 100 checkout to take the lead for the first time. Evetts hit back immediately though with a 60 finish for a 14-darter and 1-1. Sherrock broke with a 64 finish and doubled her lead as a result but she squandered multiple set darts and the Stockton ace forced a decider and as a result, he held his nerve to take a 2-1 lead.
Sherrock wasn't done though and she edged through the fourth set. This forced the decider and it was a poor start for Evetts who missed two darts at doubles; Sherrock hit double seven to lead against the throw.
She went on the brink at 2-0 up but Evetts trailed 2-1 in the decider; he asked the question of Sherrock and she answered it pinning double 18 for a brilliant victory.
