From the Washington Post and New York Times to major media in Asia, everyone talked about the historic win of Fallon Sherrock.
Earlier this week, she became the first woman ever to win a competition at the
PDC World Darts Championship. Sherrock
defeated her male opponent Ted Evetts after a nail-biting clash.
The news reached the American tennis legend Billie Jean King. She congratulated the 25-year-old from Milton Keynes on Twitter with her historic victory.
''Congratulations to
Fallon Sherrock, the first woman in history to win a match in the World Darts Championship. Fallon earned more for this first-round win than she would have earned from winning the women’s championship'', she said.
Billie Jean King is one of the most successful tennis players of all time with 39 Grand Slam titles to her name. She is also an important advocate for equal rights for men and women.
