Draw 2024 WDF Lakeside Women's World Championship featuring Beau Greaves, Lisa Ashton, Deta Hedman and Aileen de Graaf

The draw has been confirmed for the WDF Lakeside World Championship which will take place between November 29 - December 8 with Beau Greaves aiming for a hat-trick of World titles.

Greaves has snubbed Ally Pally once more and will instead try to make it three in a row at Lakeside. The outstanding favourite will face Amanda Loch or Kirsi Viinikainen in the second round.

Aileen de Graaf is second seed and faces Lorraine Hyde or Mayumi Ouchi in a tough assignment for the Dutch woman. The same can be said for the returning Irina Armstrong, a former semi-finalist who returns for the first time since 2015 and faces five-time World Champion, Lisa Ashton or rising Scot, Sophie McKinlay.

Deta Hedman too as fourth seed will face either former finalist Kirsty Hutchinson or tricky Hungarian, Veronika Ihasz. Another to look out for is Nicole Regnaud who has impressed previously losing to Aileen de Graaf last year in the Last 16 who went on to lose to Greaves in the final. She is fifth seed and faces Wendy Harper or Greta Tekauer.

Rhian O'Sullivan as ever who is third seed is also another player to watch in what is a tough draw outside of Greaves leading the way especially for the other top names who have to tussle with unseeded returnees such as Ashton and Hutchinson.

Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Fallon Sherrock were among those to snub invites and will instead play at the PDC edition of the tournament later this year due to PDC rules surrounding playing both.
