Beau Greaves becomes first woman to hit nine-darter on PDC ProTour

Published

on

Beau Greaves created history by becoming the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour.

The 22-year-old hit perfection in her Players Championship 6 clash with Mensur Suljovic in Leicester.

She hit consecutive 180s and then finished by taking out 141, pinning a double 12.

The Doncaster thrower looked overwhelmed after the leg, with Suljovic offering her a handshake.

She managed to compose herself to claim a 6-5 victory in the last 32, winning a final-leg decider.

Greaves has been the flagbearer for the women’s game in recent years, seeming almost invincible on the women’s tour while also beating Luke Littler on her way to the World Youth Championship final.

Greaves, who went on to lose to David Sharp in the third round, said: “I couldn’t believe I’d hit it! I just about hit the treble 19 and then I was quite confident that the double 12 was going in.

“I couldn’t stop smiling because I couldn’t wait to tell my dad, even though I knew he’d be watching it.

“I’ve narrowly missed hitting one a few times so it was nice to finally hit one. It’s nice to be the first woman to hit one on the PDC ProTour, I’m glad it was on the stream as well.

“It was hard to get back into the game after I’d hit it, I was shaking afterwards. It was nerve-wracking but I managed to get the win in the end.

“I’m enjoying my start to life on the PDC ProTour. I’ve been struggling in patches with a bit of tension in my throw, but I’m playing well and enjoying it.

“You’re playing the best players in the world so if you lose a game, it’s just a case of your opponent playing better than you on the day.”

Gerwyn Price finished off a classy day in Leicester with a destructive 8-1 win over Andrew Gilding in the final.

A host of big names – such as Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Littler – were absent from the tournament.

The Iceman averaged 98.68 and landed two ton-plus checkouts in a dominant performance to get his hands on his first Players Championship title of the season.

Price knocked out Jonny Clayton and Kevin Doets on his way to the final.

Bolivar vs Deportivo La Guaira Prediction and Betting Tips

Published

on

Club Bolivar host Deportivo La Guaira at the Estadio Hernando Siles on Tuesday for their second game of the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores group stages. El Más Grande began their campaign with a 1-0 loss to Independiente Rivadavia on 8 April as Carlos Lampe’s second-minute own goal was enough to down them.

Adding insult to injury was a red card for Jesus Sagredo in the 72nd minute, as the defender will now be sidelined for matchday two.

Flavio Robatto’s side picked themselves up over the weekend to beat Academia del Balompie Boliviano in the Bolivian Primera Division to make it two wins from two in the new season.

The La Paz outfit will be hoping to carry that momentum into the Copa Libertadores stage to pick up their first win and get their campaign up and running.

Deportivo also failed to win their opening match of the group stages, drawing 0-0 with Fluminense, who endured a frustrating game despite dominating the proceedings. The Brazilian giants had 61% of possession, mustered 14 shots, of which seven were on target, but couldn’t find the back of the net even once.

Their Venezuelan rivals spent much of the time on the back foot and were fortunate due to some wasteful finishing from their mighty hosts.


Bolivar vs Deportivo La Guaira Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

  • This marks the first official meeting between Bolivar and Deportivo La Guaira.
  • Club Bolivar have faced a Venezuelan side on eight occasions, never losing. They’ve won six times and drawn twice (both against Minervae).
  • Meanwhile, Deportivo La Guaira face a Bolivian side for the first time.
  • Bolivar’s Jesus Segredo will be suspended from the clash after getting sent off on matchday one.
  • Since the beginning of Apertura in February 2026, Deportivo La Guaira are unbeaten in 12 games in all competitions, winning six.

Bolivar vs Deportivo La Guaira Prediction

Deportivo have been a tough nut to crack this season, with no side being able to get the better of them.

Their stoic defense has made up for their lack of goals in 2026. Bolivar have the home advantage but may end up with a draw here.
