Fallon Sherrock was left to rue a number of missed chances as she lost to Ricky Evans in the first round of the PDC World Darts Championship.Three years after becoming the first female player to win a match, and subsequently, two consecutive matches in the event, Sherrock won the opening set against Evans at Alexandra Palace.The Women's World Matchplay winner had four darts at a double to win the third set before busting on five, while she also led 2-0 in the fourth set and missed two darts to win it before Evans took out 107 to seal a 3-1 win."I knew it was going to be tough but I didn’t expect it to be that tough," a relieved Evans told Sky Sports."She is so good.
The thing is people are cheering because it’s a lady player, they don’t respect how good she is actually at darts. She was the better player in that game."I got away with that and I’m so happy to win.
