Fallon Sherrock Praises Beau Greaves’ Potential After Luke Humphries’ Classy Gesture
Fallon Sherrock, the trailblazing “Queen of the Palace,” expressed unwavering support for rising darts star Beau Greaves following Greaves’ standout performance at the 2025 UK Open, where she pushed world No. 1 Luke Humphries to the brink in a 10-7 fourth-round defeat. Speaking to ITV Sport before the match, Sherrock lauded Greaves’ fearless approach, saying, “We’ve been keeping an eye because we all know Beau’s potential, we all just want her to go and succeed. She’s not scared of anyone. Why would she be?” Her comments, reported by The Mirror and The Irish Sun, underscored Greaves’ ability to compete with top male players, as evidenced by her 126 and 124 checkouts and a 7-5 lead over Humphries.
Humphries, in a classy gesture, beckoned Greaves back to the stage after their match at Minehead Butlins to raise her arm aloft, earning a thunderous ovation from the crowd, per Express.co.uk. Sherrock, who has faced Greaves in competitive settings like the 2025 Women’s Series, where Greaves won 5-3 in the Event 12 semi-finals, emphasized the boost Greaves’ success brings to women’s darts. “It’s so good for the women’s game, and I’m like, ‘Come on Beau, keep going,’” Sherrock told ITV, per Express.co.uk. She also endorsed Greaves for the PDC World Championship, stating, “If she goes on a run at the Worlds, her life changes completely,” highlighting the transformative potential of Greaves’ talent.[]
Greaves, the 21-year-old reigning WDF women’s world champion, reciprocated the respect, crediting Sherrock’s 2019 PDC World Championship run as inspiration. “What Fallon did was brilliant; you can’t take it away from her,” Greaves said in 2022, per Express.co.uk. Their mutual admiration, despite a competitive rivalry, reflects their shared mission to elevate women’s darts, with Sherrock noting, “I need someone like Beau to come through because she’s got the ability to play like these men do,” per The Mirror.[
