This woman has nerves of steel on the darts board!
Fallon Sherrock (27) wins the “Grand Slam of Darts” after 1: 3 deficit with 5: 3 against the German Gabriel Clemens (38), making it into the second round of the tournament after the group phase – and with an insane performance! But one after anonther…
The starting position: Darts Queen Sherrock would have to win in the “Best of 9 Legs” mode with two legs or more in order to make it to the round of 16 in Group E. The “German Giant” Gabriel Clemens could have afforded a 4-5 defeat after two wins.
At the beginning everything works for the German too. “Gaga” takes a 3-1 lead, everything looks like the last 16 for the German – and then the crazy sherrock show!
Sherrock initially manages to make it 2: 3. With a 141 finish, she equalizes to 3: 3, Clemens wobbles. Then Sherrock even takes a 4: 3 lead. The decision has to be made! In this, Clemens still has 68 points to check. Sherrock has to go all or nothing – and does it! With 170 points, she checked the highest possible finish, won 5: 3 and made it to the round of 16. The next arrows show from the Englishwoman.

It was only on Sunday that she set a record in the game against Belgian Mike de Decker (25) and, with an average of 101.55 points, played the highest average that a woman has ever played on the tour.
On Thursday she will meet the Austrian Mensur Suljovic (49). Sherrock had already beaten him in a World Cup match in December 2019. Is the “Queen of the Palace” showing the next sherrock show there?
