Beau Greaves (born 9 January 2004)[4] is an English darts player, who plays in both World Darts Federation (WDF) events, where she is currently the Women's World No. 1, and Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where she is ranked No. 1 on the Women's Series Order of Merit.

She is the current back-to-back-to-back three-time ladies' world champion, having won the title in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and by doing so, she becomes only the 2nd person (alongside Trina Gulliver), to win the title on 3 successive occasions. She is also the current back-to-back PDC Women's World Matchplay Champion, having won the event in 2023 and 2024.

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Greaves started playing regularly in tournaments and league games at the age of 10,[1] having been introduced to darts by her brother Taylor.[5] She made her stage debut at the girls' 2014 Winmau World Masters and lost in the final to Robyn Byrne. Two years later, she won a gold medal in the 2016 WDF Europe Cup Youth singles competition against Christina Schuler by 4–1 in legs and also takes gold and silver medal in others competition. In the same year, she advanced for a second time to the final of the girls' 2016 Winmau World Masters and lost to Veronika Koroleva.

Not only did Greaves win numerous national girls' titles, but she also became a regular contender in the women's tournaments, reaching the final of the Jersey Classic at the age of 13. In 2017, she advanced for third time to the final of the girls' 2017 Winmau World Masters and took the title after defeating Katie Sheldon in a whitewash.

Greaves successfully defended her title at the girls' 2018 Winmau World Masters by beating Hayley Crowley in the final, also without giving up a leg. In 2018, she won the all-girls' competition of the 2018 WDF Europe Cup Youth, defeating Emine Dursan in the singles competition.

2019–2021

[edit]

In April 2019, she threw a 9-dart finish at a tournament in her hometown of Doncaster. In May 2019, Greaves won both the Welsh Open and the Welsh Classic in the women's category. Later in June, she won both women's singles titles, the girls' title and the overall youth title at the England National Singles and the England Open. Only the women's doubles title was narrowly denied to her that weekend, but she was the youngest player ever to win the British Pentathlon. At the end of the month she also won the BDO Gold Cup, followed by another title at the West Midlands Open at the end of August.

At the beginning of September 2019, Greaves won the England Matchplay. At the 2019 WDF World Cup in Romania, she won the girls' singles and doubles with Shannon Reeves, and she was also successful at the premiere of the Northern Cyprus Open. At the age of 15, Greaves then qualified for the 2020 BDO World Darts Championship for the first time as the sixth seed, becoming the youngest women player to play in the World Darts Championship.[6] She beat Tori Kewish in the first round and Aileen de Graaf in the quarter-finals to reach the last four on debut, where she lost to reigning champion Mikuru Suzuki.[7]

By winning the Scottish Open in February 2020, Greaves took first place in the women's British Darts Organisation rankings at the age of 16.

In 2021, Greaves struggled with dartitis during the coronavirus pandemic, but still won the Welsh Classic and a year later both events on the Isle of Man. Greaves then took part in the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship at Lakeside, where she defeated Veronika Ihász by 2–1 in sets in the first game and then defeated Aileen de Graaf by 2–0 in sets. A 3–0 win over Lorraine Winstanley made Greaves the youngest ever women's World Championship finalist, and the following day she was crowned World Champion with a 4–0 win over Kirsty Hutchinson.[8]

2022: PDC World Darts Championship debut

[edit]

In 2022, Greaves won the Welsh Open for the second time in May and the 2022 Dutch Open in June. She was also able to win the individual event of the Six Nations Cup, she also won the Romanian Open and England Open and the platinum title at the 2022 Australian Darts Open also belonged to her. In August 2022, Greaves made her debut at the 2022 PDC Women's Series and won four consecutive finals, becoming the first player to do so.[9] She subsequently won four more consecutive finals to end the year with a record eight straight Women's Series titles.[10]

At the end of September 2022, Greaves was selected by the national federation to participate in the 2022 WDF Europe Cup held in Spain. On the second day of the tournament, she advanced to the finals of the singles competition, defeating Anca Zijlstra, Robyn Byrne, and Rhian O'Sullivan en route to the final.[11] In the final, she beat Almudena Fajardo 7–4 in legs.[12][13]

In December 2022, Greaves made her debut at the PDC World Darts Championship, losing to William O'Connor 0–3 in the first round.[14]

2023

[edit]

After winning seven of the twelve Women's Series events, Greaves was the top seed in the PDC Women's World Matchplay.[15] On July 23, 2023, Beau Greaves participated in the PDC Women's World Matchplay after missing the inaugural tournament last year.[16] Greaves whitewashed Noa-Lynn van Leuven,[17] defeated Robyn Byrne 5–3,[18] and beat Mikuru Suzuki 6–1 in the final to claim the trophy for the first time in her career.[19][20][21]

Greaves qualified for the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts with her title victory at the Women's Matchplay.[22] In November, she was drawn into Group H alongside Nathan Aspinall, Damon Heta, and Ricardo Pietreczko.[23] Her debut match at the Grand Slam of Darts was against the current World Matchplay champion, Nathan Aspinall, where she narrowly lost 5–4.[24] In her next match, she redeemed her previous loss by defeating Ricardo Pietreczko 5–1 before exiting the tournament at the group stages after losing 5–4 to Damon Heta and finishing third in her group.[25][26] Greaves became the third woman to win a match at Grand Slam of Darts following Anastasia Dobromyslova and Fallon Sherrock.[citation needed]

A few months before the WDF World Championships, the WDF announced that the PDC had placed a ban on players who qualified for the 2024 PDC World Darts Championships from playing in the 2023 WDF World Darts Championships.[27][28] Greaves declined to play at the PDC World Darts Championships to instead defend her WDF Women's World Darts Championships title.[29] In December, Greaves returned to Lakeside to defend her world title at the 2023 WDF Women's World Darts Championships.[30] En route to the final, Greaves whitewashed Lorraine Hyde in the last 16,[31] Paula Murphy in the quarter-finals,[32] and Rhian O'Sullivan in the semi-finals.[33] Greaves retained her title in the final against Aileen de Graaf 4–1 to become a two-time back-to-back world champion,[34][35] averaging 87.28 throughout the event.[36]

In early February, Greaves reclaimed the WDF Dutch Open Darts trophy by whitewashing Jacqueline Seitzinger, Rachelle Boshoven, Jaynie Bloem, Desiree Geel, and Lerena Rietbergen before dropping her first legs against Lorraine Hyde 4–1 in the quarter-finals and Noa-Lynn van Leuven 4–1 in the semi-finals to enter her third consecutive final.[37] Greaves beat Aileen de Graaf 5–1 in the final to win the Dutch Open for the second time in her career.[38] After winning the Dutch Open, Greaves revealed that she would be attending a few development tour events this year.[39] A video during her quarter-final pair match went viral after Greaves hit ten perfect darts in a 701-leg match, including three consecutive maximums before hitting the double.[40]

Greaves was announced in Group B of the MODUS Super Series series seven-week nine line-up.[41] Greaves made her debut, achieving victories over Kevin Painter 4–1, Rob Collins 4–1, Adam Lipscombe 4–2, and Sebastian Białecki 4–3. The following day she remained unbeaten with a 4–0 win over Sebastian Białecki, a 4–0 whitewash of Adam Lipscombe, a 4–3 win against Rob Collins, and finally a 4–1 win over Kevin Painter, where she broke the record for highest televised average by a female player, averaging 114.56 and hitting six 180s along the way.[42][43] In the finals night group, she beat Białecki for the third time 4–1 and beat Marvin van Velzen 4–1 to qualify for the semi-final. In the semi-final, she beat Adam Lipscombe 4–1 and beat Białecki for the fourth time 4–2 in the final making her the first woman to win a MODUS week and the first player to go unbeaten during a whole week.[44][45] Greaves successfully defended her Women's World Matchplay title on 21 July 2024, defeating Fallon Sherrock 6–3 in the final at Blackpool's Winter Gardens.[46]

Greaves qualified for the 2024 Grand Slam of Darts after winning the Women's World Matchplay title; however, she said she was not looking forward to playing the men in November in Wolverhampton as she felt "most women don't have the consistency."[47][48] On November 4, 2024, the groups for the Grand Slam of Darts were announced via the PDC YouTube channel, where Greaves was drawn inside Group B against the eighth seed and former UK Open winner Danny Noppert, Martin Schindler, and Cameron Menzies.[49][50] In the first round of the round robin, Greaves loses to seeded player Danny Noppert by 5–3;[51] in the next game, Greaves loses against Martin Schindler 5–1;[52] Greaves leaves the Grand Slam of Darts with a 5–1 victory over Cameron Menzies.[53][54] Following her victory she later spoke about her will to compete with men, as she feels the need to face new challenges.[55]

After her match against Menzies, Greaves expressed her disapproval of the ruling preventing players from playing more than one organisation's World Championship in the same year calling it "stupid.".[56] Greaves decided to decline her invite to the 2025 PDC World Championship, for which she qualified for as the winner of the Women's Matchplay, to instead defend her back-to-back Lakeside titles.[57] She was as top seed at the WDF Lakeside World Championship for the third year in a row and was drawn against the winner of the match between Amanda Loch and Kirsi Viinikainen for the second round.[58] Greaves began her defence with a whitewash victory over Kirsi Viinikainen.[59][60] Greaves continued her run with whitewash victories over Jitka Císařová in the quarter-finals and Deta Hedman in the semi-finals, setting up her third Lakeside final in a row against debutant Sophie McKinlay.[61][62] Greaves successfully defended her back-to-back Lakeside titles, defeating McKinlay 4–1 in the final, becoming the second woman to win hat-trick titles after Trina Gulliver.[63][64]
