World Darts Championship: Fallon Sherrock bids adieu to Alexandra Palace after suffering 3-1 loss to Ricky Evans

The Queen of the Palace, Fallon Sherrock, suffered a 3-1 loss to Ricky Evans in the first round of the World Darts Championship and faced an early exit twice in a row. However, Ricky Evans believed that Sherrock played better, but he won only because she missed doubles.

Sherrock became the first female player to defeat a man at the World Championship three years ago. Still, she has been performing miserably as she suffered first-round defeat two years in a row at Alexandra Palace. She threw a higher average against Evans and won the first set, but Evans bounced back in the remaining sets and secured a 3-1 victory over her to face Joe Cullen in the second round.



In the post-match interview, Evans sighed relief as he said that he expected the match to be difficult, but it turned out even more difficult. He felt people were cheering for her only because she was a female player, but they should also respect her talent in the game. Evans thought Sherrock was the better player in the game and was lucky that she missed the doubles, and he took that chance to secure a victory. He felt it was the hardest game of darts ever, and he had nothing to lose after winning the match.

Sherrock could only hit 9 of 31 attempts on a double, which cost her the match. Her composure was off, and she lacked precision, opposite to her successful run three years ago.
