Beau Greaves, the 21-year-old three-time WDF World Champion and world No. 1 women’s darts player, gave her strongest indication yet of targeting a return to the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace (“Ally Pally”), stating, “I’m finally ready to push myself a bit more,” per Dartsnews. Greaves, who has dominated the 2025 PDC Women’s Series with eight titles, including back-to-back wins against Fallon Sherrock (5-2) and Lorraine Winstanley (5-4) in Milton Keynes on June 7, is poised to qualify for Ally Pally via the Women’s World Matchplay or Challenge/Development Tour, per Sky Sports. Her 32-match unbeaten streak and 91.2% win rate in the Women’s Series underscore her readiness to compete against top male players, a move endorsed by analysts Laura Turner and Matt Edgar on Love The Darts, per Sky Sports.
Meanwhile, Fallon Sherrock, the “Queen of Ally Pally,” announced on June 2, 2025, that she will take an extended break from professional darts in 2026 to prioritize her health, revealing struggles with kidney disease diagnosed in 2014, which has caused “moon face” from medications and limited her practice, per GB News. Sherrock, 30, told Online Darts, “All I want is to practice at home for a couple of hours a day, and I can’t do that at the moment,” expressing her determination to return to her 2020 form, when she became the first woman to win a PDC World Championship match, per BBC Sport. Despite recent losses to Greaves, Sherrock, who leads the Women’s Series with 404 career wins, remains supportive, saying, “We all know Beau’s potential, we just want her to go and succeed,” per Express.
