Beau Greaves has won the Women's World Matchplay for the third time after coming through a thrilling last-leg decider to beat Fallon Sherrock. The top seed was not at her best but, having been pushed all the way by Sherrock, held her nerve to secure a 6-5 win at Blackpool's Winter Gardens. It is a third Matchplay title in four years for Greaves but having let a 5-3 lead slip, the 22-year-old was under pressure when Sherrock hit a 180 in the decider. But the 22-year-old hit back with a maximum of her own and followed it up with a 145 set-up before taking out 56 to seal the win. "I'm not one to celebrate but I just felt the relief after winning," Greaves told Sky Sports. "To hit that last dart was just an outpouring of relief. I am just so happy to win. "I was nervous. That kind of pressure is a privilege - I am doing well and playing well. I didn't think I played my A-game, but just to win and get over it is such a massive thing. It is a terrific night." Doncaster's Greaves came in as the clear favourite but having breezed through her quarter-final, found herself in trouble in the semis.
