WDF Ranking Women's Update: Beau Greaves still comfortably leads the way after latest double header

There are few changes at the top of the WDF women's rankings after the recent tournaments in Scotland and Slovakia. Beau Greaves, absent both events, still leads the world rankings by a wide margin with 1453 points.

Rhian O'Sullivan follows well behind with 1016 points, while Lerena Rietbergen is third with 887 points. She initially had a sizeable lead over Lorraine Hyde, but the Scot has crept closer.

Hyde recently won the title at both the Scottish Open and the Scottish Classic. She now stands at 808 points, leaving her only 79 points behind Rietbergen. Following Hyde are Nicole Regnaud (700 points), Deta Hedman (686 points) and Joanne Hadley (592 points). The top-10 is completed by Jitka Cisarova (583 points), who won the Slovak Open last weekend, Irina Armstrong (547 points) and Aileen de Graaf (543 points).

Paula Jacklin also won a title this past weekend and although she sits in 16th. She is currently in the top eight when it comes to qualification for the WDF Lakeside World Championship. This comprises Rietbergen who tops the West Europe Ranking Table, Dutch Open champion Rhian O'Sullivan.

As well as the aforementioned Lorraine Hyde, Deta Hedman, Beau Greaves, Sophie McKinlay and Nicole Regnaud. Joanne Hadley also priorly mentioned currently sits in position too as a Gold/Platinum Event winner.

Further players will confirm their spots through the Denmark Open, Toronto Area Open, New Zealand Open and Korean Open. Sarah Makanga, Pei-Ying Liao, Maria Carli, Greta Tekauer and Tracy Feiertag are also leading regional tables. Irina Armstrong, Aileen de Graaf and Aletta Wajer are also in line for the spots with further qualifiers to be set over the course of the year.

Back to Beau Greaves and she will have a decision to make also if the rules don't change. She is currently in line although at an early stage to qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship three times through the Challenge Tour, Development Tour and Women's Series.

Those would also gleam a Tour Card which would shut the route off completely anyway at the end of the cycle so an intriguing few months await.
