American tennis legend Billie Jean King congratulates Sherrock with historic win
Post Type
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.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
