Fallon Sherrock has broken her silence since her reported split from boyfriend Cameron Menzies, addressing the personal change while advocating for greater opportunities for women in darts, including spots in the UK Open. The 30-year-old “Queen of the Palace,” who made history as the first woman to defeat a man at the PDC World Championship in 2019, spoke to the media ahead of the 2025 Betfred Women’s World Matchplay, marking her first public comments since the breakup was hinted at by former PDC pro Vincent van der Voort on July 28, 2025. Sherrock confirmed the end of her four-year relationship with Menzies, who she met in an online darts league in 2021, but chose not to delve into details, stating, “It’s been a tough time personally, but I’m focusing on what I can control—my game and the future of women’s darts.”
Amid this personal transition, Sherrock has redirected her energy toward pushing for equality in the sport. She urged tournament organizers to consider allocating UK Open spots to female players, arguing, “Maybe like the UK Open, you could probably give some women some spots. You’re always looking for spaces and you’re giving it to people who go to their local pubs and play. Give some to the women—just two spaces or something.” This call reflects her belief that the women’s game is growing rapidly and deserves more visibility, a stance she’s held since expressing frustration with the lack of support from some peers. Sherrock also highlighted her pride in persevering through challenges, saying, “I could have just given up and gone downhill completely, but I’m happy I’ve kept going, kept positive, and kept looking to the future.”
Her comments come as she prepares for a 2026 break to address health issues, including kidney problems that have impacted her stamina, yet she remains determined to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts and PDC World Championship this year. The split, coupled with her health struggles, adds context to her advocacy, as she seeks to leave a lasting legacy. At 11:17 PM WAT on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Sherrock’s silence-breaking remarks signal resilience, blending personal reflection with a bold vision for women’s darts, though the exact reasons for her breakup with Menzies remain undisclosed.
