Beau Greaves makes history with nine-darter
Beau Greaves achieved a significant milestone on Wednesday, becoming the first woman to score a nine-darter in the PDC circuit during her second-round match against Mensur Suljovic at Players Championship 6 in Leicester, reports BritPanorama.
The remarkable feat came in the third leg of the match, where the 22-year-old from Doncaster opened with two consecutive maximum 180s before finishing with a stunning 141 checkout, hitting treble 20, treble 19, and double 12.
Greaves’ performance was described as “absolutely incredible” by commentators, who highlighted not just the achievement but also the dramatic intensity of the match, which she narrowly won 6-5. It showcased both her skill and composure under pressure.
Following the throw, Suljovic showed respect by bowing to Greaves, a moment that displayed the sportsmanship and reverence present in the game. Observers noted Greaves’ understated reaction, a simple smile reflecting her surprise at the achievement.
This is not the first time Greaves has made headlines in 2025; earlier this month, she became the first woman to reach the last 16 in a ProTour event at Players Championship 1.

Greaves continues to set new standards in women’s darts, inspiring a generation of young players with her dedication and excellence in the sport.
In a world where even the smallest victories can have wide-reaching implications, Greaves’ achievements evoke a broader conversation about representation in competitive sports, underscoring how barriers can be broken through sheer talent and tenacity.
