At the 2019 PDC World Championship, which player became the first woman to win a match?

Fallon Sherrock became the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship in 2019.

Sherrock defeated Ted Evetts 3–2 in the first round at Alexandra Palace in London. Her victory was a landmark moment because it was the first time a woman had won a match in the PDC World Championship.

She then defeated Mensur Suljović 3–1 in the second round, becoming the first woman to reach the tournament’s third round. Her run ended against Chris Dobey, who won their third-round match 4–2.

The achievement is sometimes misstated as Sherrock winning the championship or becoming the first woman to compete there. Women had appeared in the event before, but Sherrock was the first to win a match in the PDC’s flagship world tournament.
