The Queen of the Palace — the first woman ever to beat a man at the PDC World Championship, whose victory over Ted Evetts at Alexandra Palace in 2019 changed darts forever.

Fallon Sherrock made history at the 2019-20 PDC World Championship by becoming the first woman to defeat a male player at the event, beating Ted Evetts 3-1. She then defeated Mensur Suljovic — a world top-10 player — in the next round, before losing to Chris Dobey. Her performances transformed attitudes toward women's darts and she became one of the sport's most celebrated figures.

After beating Ted Evetts, the Alexandra Palace crowd gave her a standing ovation — one of the sport's most emotional moments.
