Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the PDC Women’s Series by clinching back-to-back titles on Sunday, adding another trophy to her growing collection and moving ever closer to the milestone of 60 career wins on the circuit. The day’s action unfolded as a double‑header at the Mattioli Arena, featuring Events 19 and 20, and it saw Greaves return to form after sitting out the previous day.
The morning session began with Greaves delivering a flawless series of white‑wash performances. She dispatched Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim in three straight matches, each victory recorded as a 4-0 scoreline.
Her clinical start set the tone for what would become a marathon of high‑quality darts throughout the day. In the quarter‑finals of Event 19, Greaves faced a stern test against Gemma Hayter. After falling behind 2-3, the 22‑year‑old showed remarkable composure, rallying to win three consecutive legs and turn the match around 5-3. This comeback not only demonstrated her mental resilience but also secured her place in the semi‑finals.
The semi‑final saw Greaves meet Dutch veteran Aileen de Graaf. Greaves ran away with the encounter, posting a 5-1 victory while maintaining an impressive average of over 96 points per three darts.
Her precision and consistency left little doubt about her superiority on the day. In the Event 19 final, Greaves was paired once again with Lisa Ashton, recreating the headline clash from the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay semi‑final that had been billed as "Beau 'n' Arrow" versus Ashton.
Greaves seized the initiative early, even after dropping the first leg, by stringing together three successive legs to take a 3-1 lead. She capped the match with a spectacular 14‑dart leg, ultimately prevailing 5-3 and securing her 58th Women’s Series title.
Transitioning to the afternoon session of Event 20, Greaves maintained her relentless pace. She opened with another set of 4-0 wins, this time over Leanne Halls and Felicia Bay, mirroring the dominance she displayed earlier. Throughout the event she dropped only three legs in total, a testament to her sustained focus.
The quarter‑finals of Event 20 brought a series of tight contests. Greaves edged past Louise Pearson and Rhian O’Sullivan with identical 4-1 scores, then delivered a decisive 5-0 shutout against Angela Kirkwood to book her place in the semi‑finals. In the semi‑final, she faced Karolina Ratajska and produced a commanding 5-1 victory, opening the match with an 11‑dart leg that underscored her scoring power. The final of Event 20 was a repeat of the earlier showdown with Aileen de Graaf.
De Graaf struggled to find her rhythm, and Greaves capitalised by posting an average above 91 and delivering a clean sweep, 5-0, to claim her 59th Women’s Series title. This win not only extended her lead at the top of the rankings but also reinforced her status as the player to beat in the women’s game. With this double triumph, Greaves solidified her position at the summit of the Women’s Series leaderboard. Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock remain in second and third place respectively, while Gemma Hayter sits just behind them in fourth, occupying the final qualifying slot for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
