What are Fallon Sherrock's Chances of Winning the Women's Series?

What do you think Fallon Sherrock’s chances of winning this year’s Women’s Series are? Continue reading to find out everything you need to know ahead of time.

If you keep up to date with the latest news updates and developments within the wider world of women’s darts, you are probably aware of some of the sport’s most famous faces including that of Fallon Sherrock. It is the upcoming Women’s Series, which runs from January to October this year, however, that has gotten fellow players and fans alike wondering whether or not the professional darts player has what it takes to thrash her opponents and rise to the top of the ranks.

In 2015, Sherrock reached the final of the BDO Ladies World Championship after beating Anastasia Dobromyslova 2-1 in the semi-finals. It was playing against fellow women’s darts pioneer Lisa Ashton that sealed her fate but it still marked an astonishingly impressive first appearance at what was, at the time, her first World Championship final. In 2019, she hit the headlines yet again when she made history by becoming the first female darts player to not only win a match but win two consecutive matches at the PDC World Championships beating Ted Evetts 3-2 in the first round and Mensur Suljović 3-1 in the second round. It was the third round, however, that sealed her fate by losing 2-4 to Chris Dobey but the record-breaking performance earned her the nickname of Queen of the Palace after the venue within which the event was held, Alexandra Palace.

In the years following Sherrock’s professional debut, she has proven herself as a worthy contender within the wider world of women’s darts and, perhaps most importantly, for the winner of the Women’s Series. It is the global sports betting industry, however, where her name has repeatedly arisen time and time again with both experienced and inexperienced professional darts fans believing that she does, in fact, have what it takes to walk away triumphant. It will mark the first time she has participated in the tournament since her record-breaking achievements of the 2019 season having already sealed her spot at the coveted event. It will also see her more than likely play against her unofficial rival, Lisa Ashton, for her third return to the stage in what is bound to be an action-packed round for everyone involved at Alexandra Palace.

It may not necessarily mean that Sherrock has fumbled her chances at winning the Women’s Series quite yet but her latest performances have hinted at a somewhat shaky start. It was during the final stage of the PDC Qualifying School that she suffered a second consecutive early defeat having lost 6-5 to Joshua Richardson in her home town of Milton Keynes. It came just a day after she suffered a 6-1 loss to Danny Lauby with a two-day performance that has left her fate well and truly hanging in the balance and may force her to dig deep to become the second woman, after Lisa Ashton, to win a PDC Tour Card for a place on the Pro Tour which will see 128 of the greatest darts players take to the stage.

It may only be January but with the upcoming Women’s Series leaving professional darts fans waiting with bated breath, all eyes are on Fallon Sherrock and whether or not she has what it takes to walk away as a worthy winner this year. It may be too early to say but by taking a look at her past successes, her performance against worthy contenders, and her somewhat shaky start, only time will tell how the professional darts player will fare.
