Fallon Sherrock insists there is no reason why she cannot win the World Darts Championship in the future

Fallon Sherrock has already made history by becoming the first woman to win a match at the World Darts Championship, but she believes it is possible for her to win the whole tournament in the future.

Sherrock was the star of the 2020 World Championships, and is still striving for greatness after her Alexandra Palace success.

She reached the third round this year, beating 11th seed Mensur Suljovic on the way, but insists she can go further in the competition in the future.

When asked if she could ever win the World Championships, Sherrock told Sky Sports News: "Maybe. My game is improving all the time, women's darts is improving all the time, so there's nothing saying that one day I can't be lifting that trophy at the end of it.

"The possibilities are endless. I'm hoping in the next 12 months people will see my better game.

"I can improve on what I've done and hopefully playing the better players on these stages will help me achieve that.

"Then hopefully if I can get back to Ally Pally next year and beat a couple more people - that for me would be my achievement of the year at the moment."
