Fallon Sherrock, the pioneering queen of darts, experienced a bittersweet moment in her historic career as her boyfriend was notably absent from her latest final due to work obligations.
The 29-year-old, who made history as the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship, has been a trailblazer for women in the sport. However, her recent achievement was overshadowed by personal disappointment when her partner, who has been a constant support throughout her rise to fame, couldn't attend the crucial match.
A Support System Missed
Sherrock, known for her resilience on the oche, admitted feeling the absence of her boyfriend during the final. "It's tough when someone so important to you can't be there," she shared. "But I understand work comes first, and he's always been my biggest cheerleader."
Breaking Barriers in Darts
The Milton Keynes-born player has been smashing glass ceilings in darts since her groundbreaking performance in 2019. Her success has inspired a new generation of female players and brought unprecedented attention to women's darts.
Despite the personal setback, Sherrock remains focused on her game. "There will be more finals," she said with characteristic determination. "And next time, I'll make sure he books the day off well in advance!"
