Beau Greaves clinched her third Women's World Matchplay title on October 7, 2026, in a nail-biting final against Fallon Sherrock at Blackpool's Winter Gardens. The match concluded with a dramatic 6-5 victory for Greaves, who faced intense pressure after relinquishing a 5-3 lead.

Despite not being at her best, the top seed showcased her resilience, responding to Sherrock's crucial 180 in the final leg with a maximum of her own. Greaves then executed a brilliant 145 setup followed by a 56 checkout to secure the title.

In her post-match interview with Sky Sports, Greaves expressed her relief and joy:

I'm not one to celebrate but I just felt the relief after winning. I was nervous. That kind of pressure is a privilege.

Greaves, from Doncaster, entered the tournament as the favorite, easily advancing through her quarter-final. However, she faced challenges in the semi-finals against Gemma Hayter, needing a deciding leg but ultimately performing a stellar 104 checkout to reach the final.

Sherrock, on the other hand, dominated her path to the final, losing only one leg and defeating defending champion Lisa Ashton 5-1 in the semi-finals. Despite her strong performance throughout the tournament, Sherrock fell short in the final for the third consecutive year, continuing her search for her first Women's Matchplay title since the tournament's inception in 2022.

For Greaves, this victory marks another significant achievement in a remarkable year, which includes being the first woman to win a PDC ranking title and the first to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour.
