Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the PDC Women’s Series by clinching back-to-back titles on Sunday, adding another impressive triumph to her growing résumé. The 22‑year‑old English star overcame a formidable field that included former world champion Lisa Ashton and Dutch contender Aileen de Graaf, ultimately edging closer to the milestone of 60 career titles on the circuit. The day’s action unfolded at the Matiolli Arena in a double‑header that featured Events 19 and 20. After missing the previous day’s competition, Greaves returned with a vengeance, opening the morning session by dispatching three opponents without dropping a single leg.
She recorded whitewash victories over Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim, setting the tone for what would become a marathon of high‑quality darts. Greaves’s momentum continued into the knockout stages. In the quarter‑final of Event 19 she faced Gemma Hayter, a match that threatened to become a close‑call. After falling behind 2‑3, Greaves rallied, winning three consecutive legs to turn the tide and secure her place in the last eight.
Her composure under pressure was evident as she steadied her aim and hit a series of high checkouts that left Hayter with little chance of recovery. In the semi‑final, Greaves met Aileen de Graaf, a player known for her consistent scoring and sharp finishing. Greaves dominated the encounter, posting a 5‑1 victory while averaging more than 96 points per three darts – a figure that underscored her clinical precision.
The win propelled her into the Event 19 final, where she would once again meet a familiar opponent: Lisa Ashton. The final was a repeat of the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay semi‑final, a bout that fans had dubbed the "Beau 'n' Arrow" clash. This time, however, Greaves emerged as the clear victor, defeating Ashton 5‑3.
Although she lost the opening leg, she quickly responded with a three‑leg streak that gave her a two‑leg lead. The decisive moment arrived when Greaves finished a 14‑dart leg, a display of flawless execution that left spectators in awe. Following her Event 19 success, Greaves turned her attention to Event 20 later the same day. Mirroring her earlier performance, she opened with two straight‑set wins, beating Leanne Halls and Felicia Bay 4‑0 each.
Throughout the event, Greaves showed remarkable consistency, dropping only three legs across all her matches. She continued her march by defeating Louise Pearson and Rhian O’Sullivan 4‑1 each, before delivering a flawless 5‑0 demolition of Angela Kirkwood to secure a spot in the semi‑finals. In the semi‑final, Greaves faced Karolina Ratajska. She started the match with an 11‑dart leg, a rapid finish that set the rhythm for the remainder of the contest.
Greaves maintained her dominance, ultimately winning 5‑1 and advancing to the final where she would meet Aileen de Graaf once more. The Event 20 final turned into a one‑sided affair.
Greaves produced an average above 91 and did not allow de Graaf to win a single leg, completing a whitewash 5‑0. This victory marked Greaves’ 59th Women’s Series title, reinforcing her position at the summit of the rankings. With this string of triumphs, Greaves remains the leader of the Women’s Series leaderboard. Lisa Ashton holds second place, followed by the ever‑consistent Fallon Sherrock in third.
Gemma Hayter sits just behind them in fourth, occupying the final qualifying slot for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
