Beau Greaves acknowledged that she still feels “vulnerable” to losses, even after successfully reaching the quarter-finals of the WDF World Darts Championship.
The 20-year-old has been the reigning women’s champion for the past two years, cementing her status as the top player in the world.

On Tuesday, she secured her place in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory over Kirsi Viinikainen of Finland.
Although her advancement seemed smooth, Viinikainen put up a fight in the second set, almost achieving a nine-darter with just seven darts.
Last month, Greaves was one of only two women competing in the Grand Slam of Darts.
She recorded a 5-1 victory against Cameron Menzies but faced defeats from Danny Noppert and Martin Schindler.
Despite her dominance in the women’s darts scene, she maintains that she is not invincible.
She stated: “I took part in the Grand Slam and managed to secure a win.
“I played fairly well, but most female players are aware of my skills; that doesn’t imply I’m unbeatable. I frequently lose games in the women’s series.
“I do face defeats, which leaves me feeling somewhat vulnerable.”

“Anything can happen at any time; players like Kirsi can catch you off guard with their performances.”
Greaves shared her dissatisfaction with her own game but acknowledged that winning is the most important aspect.

She commented: “I won, and that’s what matters, but I didn’t perform to my highest potential. My darts were not up to par, among other things.
“It’s frustrating to return and defend my title, and facing Kirsi was a tough opening match.
“Still, I’m grateful she missed some doubles, and I’m pleased to walk away as the winner.”
