Fallon Sherrock approaches Q-School with great confidence in his abilities

PDC TOUR FOR DARTS

Fallon Sherrock will launch his application for a PDC Tour Card at the 2022 UK Qualifying School on Sunday and says his confidence is "so high" right now.

'The Queen of the Palace', who continues to innovate for women in darts, has the chance to secure a place on the pro tour over the course of seven days at Milton Keynes.

Qualifying School, or Q-School, offers more than 650 players bidding for the 32 Tour Cards available. Simultaneous events are organized in UK and Germany.

Sherrock first showed his talent to a global audience during the 2020 PDC World Championship at Alexandra Palace.

After becoming the first woman to win a match in the flagship tournament, she then won over Mensur Suljovic in the second round. The 27-year-old's run was interrupted by Chris Dobey in the third round.

After his achievements on the Ally Pally stage, he has received countless invitations to compete. However, the global pandemic has paid off a lot.

“I think after the lockdown, then when I lost all these opportunities, I thought I just had to give up,” Sherrock told the PDC before Q-School.

"I thought your darts weren't where they were, and it was a little push for me to prove to the world what I can do. "

Upon her return to Alexandra Palace in December 2021, she was denied a dream second World Championship race. Sherrock was edged 3-2 by an impressive Steve Beaton, who was making his 31st consecutive appearance.

Both players behaved wonderfully, however, and the meeting concluded a productive year for the 27-year-old.

“I'm very happy with the past 12 months,” said Sherrock. “Especially with the Grand Slam, the Women's Series and obviously the World Series events that I have also played in, I didn't expect it all to come together in one package.

“Going into the Grand Slam, yes I lost to Peter Wright but in a long format. Before that game, I thought I had already done it against Michael [van Gerwen], so that I could do it against Peter. It made me believe a little more now. "

The competition Sherrock refers to with Michael van Gerwen took place at the Nordic Masters in Copenhagen. Van Gerwen had to come back from behind to beat Sherrock 11-7 in the final, after knocking out Dimitri Van den Bergh in the semi-final.

It was not the first time Sherrock had shown off his fighting skills and ability to stay calm under pressure, coming back 7-1 against Van den Bergh.

With the confidence she gained from her clashes with Wright and Van Gerwen, her performance and Grand Slam darts run and her continued maturity as a player, Sherrock now feels in excellent shape ahead of Q-School.

“My confidence is so high right now and I believe in myself now,” Sherrock explained.

“I used to think I could play, but if I did, that was another problem. I didn't know what game was going to come on stage.

Now I believe I can do it. The difference now is that I really trust myself.

“I was always the one to go unnoticed, there were always the best women doing everything and I saw what they were doing and wanted to do it myself. Looking back, they inspired me to do all of this because I wanted to be like them.

 “I hope I will try to get a Tour Card because that's the only thing I have to do, to see how far I can push my game.

“Over the next 12 months I want to try to qualify as much as possible, gain more TV experience and show everyone what else I can do.

“I am privileged to play against great players,” concluded Sherrock. “I want to play against all the players and I haven't yet. This is my ambition, I want to play against everyone. "
