FALLON SHERROCK
#IWD2021
Fallon Sherrock became a global sensation at the 2020 PDC World Championships when she became the first woman to win a match at the event, beating Ted Evetts.
This was followed up with a 3-1 victory over the number 11 seed Mensur Suljovic, propelling her into the third round, where she was defeated by Chris Dobey 4-2.
Recognition from figures such as Billie Jean King and Sarah Jessica Parker not only thrust Sherrock into the spotlight, but the sport as whole, and a new generation of girls and women have been inspired to take up the sport.
Sherrock earned a spot as a challenger in the 2020 PDC Premier League, where she forced a draw with Premier League Champion Glen Durrant.
Prior to Sherrock's exploits at the Alexandra Palace, she is a two-time major winner and a member of the Women's England squad.
