The opportunity opened by the PDC to create a Women's Qualifier for their World Championship is the biggest of Winstanley's career, but has not come without its problems. Saturday's final sees Winstanley face Japan's unseeded Mikuru Suzuki, who beat England's Maria O'Brien 2-0. In the long run, I think it's set my mind in good stead where I think 'right I'm going to have to brush up on my doubles', because you get away with that on the other side but it was a totally different kettle of fish I noticed. It is gruelling on the mind." It was really tough," said Van Leuven. "I told a really good friend of mine and she was really supportive but she also said I had to tell my mum. The final double-header of this year’s PDC Women’s Series takes place in Wigan on Sunday, with Events 19-20 streamed exclusively through PDCTV from 1000 GMT.

The 27-year-old also defeated Katie Sheldon and Lorraine Winstanley to prevail in the historic eight-player event, the first fully-televised women’s tournament staged by the PDC. There were a few people that I talked to a lot and then suddenly you don't hear from them anymore and then you have to hear from the parents that they're not there anymore. It is devastating,

Last time I played her I averaged 83 and I didn't even get a shot at a double," she said. "I thought I played a good game but it wasn't good enough but it will be different on stage. I'm going to try to hit everything I can." In the other semi-final, England's two-time BDO world champion Scott Waites will play fifth seed Michael Unterbuchner. I want to win and that’s what I’m here for, but I just love playing darts. I am really enjoying it and I’m so relaxed at the minute.

However, an emotional Gilbert rounded off the campaign with Event 24 glory to become the tenth player to win a PDC Women’s Series title since the tour’s inception in 2020. Last night I was super nervous and Scott was terrific, he could've won that game, but tonight I felt the preparation had been fantastic and the crowd were amazing," Durrant told Eurosport. Eight of the best go head-to-head this Sunday and you can watch the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final all in one session at the Women's World Matchplay Ashton continued her dominance on the Women’s Series with a sixth win in nine events this year to open Saturday’s action, before Winstanley emerged victorious in Event Ten. Van Leuven opened up about the pain of losing a few of her friends to suicide at a time when she was offering support to trans people as a moderator.The Doncaster star then gained revenge over Suzuki with a 5-4 semi-final win, before whitewashing Ireland's Robyn Byrne in the decider.

The pressure is on them. We stand at the same distance, we throw whatever weight of dart you choose. We all have three darts to throw at a round thing on the wall. Physically, there is no difference." Explaining to her family and friends what she was undergoing proved one of the hardest moments in her life. She beat Gallagher, Gulliver and Dobromyslova to reach the 2019 World Championship Final but in the final she lost 0–3 to Suzuki. A few days later Winstanley confirmed her intention to compete in Q School for 2019 to try and earn a tour card to compete in the Professional Darts Corporation Pro Tour. She didn't get a tour card.After I won there was the presentation on stage and I just had a weird feeling about something that happened on stage. The other players were talking to each other and I felt it was about me," said Van Leuven. "I was right because someone told me but I just don't think it was the right place or time to do something like that. Greaves eased past Wales' Rhian O’Sullivan in the last eight, and another semi-final success over Winstanley saw her set up a mouth-watering showdown against Ashton. I hate playing her [Anastasia]. Obviously she's my bestie, I'm the godmother to her son, but to be fair she's done me in the last couple of years so it was my turn." Having spoken to Dutch TV and the Guardian, Van Leuven will prepare to face the world's media on the eve of her biggest match.
