Beau Greaves claimed her 11th title in 12 PDC Women’s Series events on Sunday after seeing her incredible winning streak ended by Mikuru Suzuki earlier in the day.

The 19-year-old had entered the day on a run of 10 straight Women’s Series wins after two victories on Saturday, only to lose to Suzuki 5-4 in the quarter-finals of Event Three.

Suzuki went on to whitewash Trina Gulliver 5-0 in the semi-finals before crushing Rhian O’Sullivan 5-1 in the final to seal her second Women’s Series title.

Greaves regained her supremacy later in the afternoon when she eliminated Suzuki 5-4 in the semi-finals before cruising to a 5-0 victory over Ireland’s Robyn Byrne in the final.

Unfazed by a rare setback, Greaves has flown through the first four games without conceding a leg.

“It was a great weekend,” Greaves said. “Ten tournaments in a row has been great, but I’m glad it’s over. It’s hard not to think about it, you wait to lose but now it’s history.

“I really struggled with everything today, with the way I threw [the dart] and I haven’t focused on all the things I should have focused on.

“To be fair to Mikuru, I’m actually grateful to lose – in the long run, it will do me a lot of good. I’m happy to start again now.

“I had some really good games, I played very stable today, but in some games I was really good and confident and in others I was just lacking.”

The top eight players on the Women’s Series Order of Merit after Event 12 will qualify for the 2023 Betfred Women’s World Matchplay, which takes place on Sunday 23 July at the Winter Gardens.
