Beau Greaves became the first woman to hit a nine-darter on the PDC ProTour as she delivered a perfect leg of darts against Mensur Suljovic at Wednesday's Players Championship.
The 22-year-old marked the milestone with a fist-pump and a subtle chuckle to herself on her way to a 6-5 victory as Suljovic squandered three match darts.
It saw her advance to the third round in Leicester having beaten former Lakeside champion Chris Landman 6-5 in the opening round after a 116 finish.
She was eventually stopped in her tracks by a 6-3 loss to David Sharp, who had knocked out former world champion Peter Wright earlier in the day.
"I couldn't believe I'd hit it! I just about hit the treble 19 and then I was quite confident that the double 12 was going in," said Greaves.
"I couldn't stop smiling because I couldn't wait to tell my dad, even though I knew he'd be watching it.
"I've narrowly missed hitting one a few times to it was nice to finally hit one. It's nice to be the first woman to hit one on the PDC ProTour, I'm glad it was on the stream as well.
"It was hard to get back into the game after I'd hit it, I was shaking afterwards. It was nerve-wracking but I managed to get the win in the end."
Greaves recently opened the 2026 Women's Series with a perfect weekend in Germany as she extended her winning run to 113 matches and 17 consecutive titles after dropping just 23 legs and producing 14 whitewashes in 27 games.
The three-time WDF World Darts Championship champion has not been beaten on the Women's Series circuit since April 2025.
"I'm enjoying my start to life on the PDC ProTour, I've been struggling in patches with a bit of tension in my throw, but I am playing well and enjoying it," she added on Wednesday.
"You're playing the best players in the world so if you lose a game, it's just a case of your opponent playing better than you on the day."
Greaves has asserted herself as one of the rising stars of darts as a two-time Women's World Matchplay champion and winner of a record 50 PDC Women's Series titles. She became just the fourth woman ever to hold a PDC Tour Card having finished second in the 2025 PDC Developmental Tour rankings to earn her opportunity.
She became the first woman to reach the final of the PDC World Youth Championship after beating Luke Littler in the semi-finals last year.
