Sherrock defeats Ted Evetts 3-2 at Alexandra Palace‘I’ve proved women can beat the men,’ says 25-year-old Fallon Sherrock has made darts history, beating Ted Evetts 3-2 to become the first woman to win a PDC world championship match. The 25-year-old hit six 180s and landed a 91.12 average on her way to victory, sealed with a nerveless double 18 that sent Alexandra Palace into raptures.
“I’m speechless, I don’t know what to say,” an emotional Sherrock said on stage afterwards. “I’ve made a great achievement for ladies’ darts,” she added. “I’ve proved that women can play the men, and can beat them. I’m over the
moon, I can’t believe it!”
