Fallon Sherrock has shared her thoughts on Beau Greaves, amid suggestions that the rising star is now 'taking attention' away from her as the best female darts player.
In recent months, Greaves has cemented herself as the dominant female player, winning an astonishing 86 successive Women's Series matches.
She also stunned reigning world champion Luke Littler at the World Youth Championship, claiming a thrilling 6-5 victory.
Greaves went on to finish second in the Development Tour rankings, having won three competitions during the campaign.

Those impressive performances have secured her a PDC Tour Card for 2026-27, making her just the fourth woman to take up a Tour Card.
It means she will now have the opportunity to regularly compete against the world's best, and has led some fans to suggest she could become the next trailblazer for women's darts.
Sherrock made history herself at the World Championship back in 2020, when she beat both Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic, becoming the first woman to win a match at that level against a man.
Despite that landmark achievement, Sherrock said she rarely reflects on it.
She said: “I never look back. I’m always thinking about what I need to do next year.
"But really, I should look back. It would give me confidence: you’ve done it before, you can do it again.”
Greaves has now emerged as the leading force in women's darts, but Sherrock insists she does not mind her receiving more of the media attention.
“I’ve never been someone who wanted to be the ‘star’ of women’s darts," Sherrock continued.
"I’d rather stay under the radar. Let Beau take the attention. It takes pressure off me.”
Greaves and Sherrock will be two of the five women competing at the World Championship, which starts next month.
Sherrock attributed that record-breaking number to the increased coverage and support the women's circuit has received in recent years.
For Sherrock personally, it will be her sixth appearance at the Alexandra Palace.
“Ally Pally is the one thing I really want every year," she added.
"It’s amazing that I’ve done it again.”
Although Greaves did not reach the knockout stages at the recent Grand Slam of Darts, she still impressed in Wolverhampton.
She was narrowly defeated by two former world champions, Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson, losing 5-4 in both matches.
Greaves then won her final group clash 5-3 against Niko Springer.
Her performances prompted speculation that she could be offered a place in next year's Premier League, which Gerwyn Price has branded as a "joke".
