Fallon Sherrock has said she is overwhelmed by the “incredible” response to her historic victories at the PDC World Darts Championship, as Billie Jean King led a wave of congratulations from across the globe.
Sherrock became the first woman to defeat a male darts player in the sport’s best-known competition last week and repeated the feat by beating one of the world’s top-ranked players on Saturday.
The 25-year-old, who only took up the sport when she was 17 after ditching her career as a professional hairdresser, said she was struggling to grasp the wave of adulation coming her way.
“It hasn’t all sunk in yet,” she told BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday. “I haven’t had time to process the first game let alone this game. Then the fact that all these people are tweeting me, especially Billie Jean King. Oh my god, I never thought someone like that would be contacting me or congratulating me or anything like that.
“I mean, this is me. I’m just a normal person. This stuff doesn’t happen to me, but it’s incredible and I’m loving it.”
King, the former world No 1 tennis player, posted her congratulations on Twitter along with the hashtag “#Gamechanger”. Television presenters Gabby Logan, Jacqui Oatley and Piers Morgan were also among those paying tribute to the Milton Keynes-born star.

— and kudos to her for making it this far, but she still has a tough row to hoe. There are five more matches she will have to win before she dons the mantle as World Champion.
