Women’s World Matchplay: Beau Greaves beats Fallon Sherrock to win title

Greaves started the day by recording a 4-1 win over Katie Sheldon to reach the last four.

In a repeat of the 2023 final, Greaves was a 5-2 winner over Mikuru Suzuki in the semi-finals, but required seven match darts to clinch victory.

Sherrock, the 2022 champion, beat Anastasia Dobromyslova in the quarter-finals.

She then narrowly progressed through the semi-finals, coming back from 3-1 down to win 5-4 against Lisa Ashton. Both players struggled to take out doubles throughout the tie, with Ashton missing seven match darts in the tightest match of the tournament.

In the men’s event, Michael van Gerwen faces Luke Humphries in the final later on Sunday. You can follow live text coverage of that match on the BBC Sport website from 19:30 BST.
