And Suzuki Makes Three

Mikuru Suzuki claimed her first 2024 PDC title, while Fallon Sherrock secured her second, as the opening weekend of 2024 Women’s Series action concluded in Wigan on Sunday.

Suzuki took the first title of the day, winning a last-leg decider against a resurgent Deta Hedman in the Event Three decider. The Japanese’s victory ensured a third different name on this season’s title sheet after three events.

Sherrock claimed a second title of the weekend in Event Four as Sunday’s closing double-header saw over 100 players in action at the Robin Park Tennis Centre.

Suzuki, The Miracle, overcame Lorraine Winstanley on the way to the semi-finals, where she came through a last-leg shoot-out with Sherrock before seeing off Hedman in the final.

Fallon, event one winner, bounced back with victory over Saturday’s Event Two winner Noa-Lynn van Leuven on her way to the semi-finals, where she averaged 97.47 in victory over Desiree Geel.

The former Grand Slam quarter-finalist defeated 2023 Women’s Series champion Beau Greaves 5-1 in the final to double her title tally for the weekend.

The PDC Women’s Series continues with Events 5-8 on April 20-21 in Wigan, with live coverage getting underway from approximately 1000 GMT on PDCTV.
