Fallon Sherrock: A Woman Will Win the PDC World Championship
Fallon Sherrock believes a woman will win the PDC World Championship one day.
The ‘Queen of the Palace’ made the claim after beating Luke Littler in a one-leg shoot-out on Netflix’s Beat Luke Littler on 30 October to land the £501,000 jackpot.
Speaking to Freebets.com, Sherrock pointed to Beau Greaves as the clearest sign of progress.
“The likes of Beau Greaves at the moment, she’s beating all these top players all the time.”
With the World Darts Championship not far away, here is what Sherrock had to say.
Longer Formats Are the Key
Sherrock thinks stamina is what stands between the women’s game and a world title.
“Once we can get our stamina within the longer formats, then I think you’d see a woman win,” she said.
“At the moment we play shorter matches. But once we play longer ones, we get used to it. I reckon you will see one.”
How Sherrock Beat Littler
Littler beat 14 contestants before Sherrock, picked by a vote, stepped up.
She won the bull to throw first and checked out in 15 darts.
She said she dropped the playful walk-on and switched to focus.
“Take the crown off, put your glasses on and really focus,” she told herself. “I think a lot of people could see that in my face.”
Asked whether she would swap the win for a PDC title, she said no. “Winning the World Championship would be great, but this is worth a lot more money.”
Darts Can “Only Go Higher”
On what could burst the darts bubble, Sherrock said the sport is heading in the right direction.
Only someone stepping out of turn and setting it back would hurt it, she said. “Overall, I think it can only go higher.”
