FALL OF JOY Fallon Sherrock makes history AGAIN as she becomes first woman to reach Grand Slam quarter-finals.

FALLON SHERROCK made history AGAIN as she became the first woman in history to reach the quarter-finals of a ranking event on the PDC circuit.

The oche star revealed that she fed off the ‘buzz’ of the supportive Grand Slam of Darts crowd to inflict a second dose of misery on Mensur Suljovic.

It was during her run to the third round of the 2020 PDC World Darts Championship that Sherrock first broke the glass ceiling for women’s darts and became a worldwide name.

One of her victims almost two years ago was Suljovic, 49, and the Austrian slow-coach has not been the same player since.

And the world No 27 will have further nightmares after being thumped 10-5 by Sherrock in the last 16 of this TV major in Wolverhampton.

Sherrock started poorly and slowly, averaging just shy of 78 and quickly finding herself 2-0 down in legs.


Yet something visibly clicked, the ex-Bucks hairdresser turned angry and she began playing at her pace – not the slower rhythm set by Suljovic.

The 27-year-old star went into the first TV ad break 3-2 ahead thanks to an 11-dart leg that was settled by a 100 checkout and then a 124 finish on the bull.
