If you weren't following earlier, you missed a heck of a close first-round match between female superstar Beau Greaves and 22nd seed Daryl Gurney.

In the end, Greaves fell just short of becoming the second female player to win a match at the PDC World Championship, losing in a deciding set.

The 21-year-old from Doncaster was aiming to follow the lead of Fallon Sherrock, who created history by winning two matches at the 2020 tournament.

The first four sets all went against the throw, with Gurney twice winning deciding legs to hit the front before being pegged back.

Greaves needed a total of just 37 darts to win three successive legs in the second set, with a 128 checkout on the bullseye sealing a 12-dart break of throw, followed by a 10-darter to level the match at one set all.

In the decider, Gurney hit a stunning 144 checkout to move within one leg of victory and wrapped it up shortly after Greaves had narrowly missed a 148 to extend the match.
