Greaves, who also lifted the Betfred Women’s World Matchplay title in July, will make her Grand Slam debut in November, although she has chosen not to compete at this year’s World Darts Championship. The pressure is on them. We stand at the same distance, we throw whatever weight of dart you choose. We all have three darts to throw at a round thing on the wall. Physically, there is no difference." Men don't like playing women. And they certainly don't like playing women who can really play," Winstanley pointed out. I hate playing her [Anastasia]. Obviously she's my bestie, I'm the godmother to her son, but to be fair she's done me in the last couple of years so it was my turn."

In talking about her form, the former Lakeside Championship finalist added: “It seems to be coming together a bit so I can only feel positive about it.” The 18-year-old began her campaign with whitewash wins over Eleanor Cairns and Adriana van Wijgerden-Vermaat, before sweeping aside Irish star Robyn Byrne 4-1 with a 94 average. The final double-header of this year’s PDC Women’s Series takes place in Wigan on Sunday, with Events 19-20 streamed exclusively through PDCTV from 1000 GMT.Yes, some of them, certainly the top ladies. But there is an awful lot of talent out there, who don't do the tours or even play county darts. There is talent that we don't get to see much of, because if they don't travel, then we don't come across each other. There will be dangerous players that we've never heard of." Ashton continued her dominance on the Women’s Series with a sixth win in nine events this year to open Saturday’s action, before Winstanley emerged victorious in Event Ten. Suzuki then went on to claim the title, whitewashing Trina Gulliver 5-0 in the semi-finals and dropping just one leg in the decider against Wales' Rhian O'Sullivan. Ten tournaments in a row has been brilliant but I'm glad it's over. It's hard not to think about it, you are waiting to lose but it's history now.

I think all the women put up a really good performance. I think that’s what we needed, and hopefully we can progress from there. To be fair to Mikuru, I was actually thankful to lose - in the long run it will do me a load of good. I'm happy that I can start afresh now. There were some games where I played really well, but then there were other times when I was dreadful, but if I can put that all together, I know on the day, if I get my mindset right and play well every single game, I have no doubt in my mind that I will be there one day. Winstanley is a regular on the BDO circuit but not a full-time professional, a couple of defeats to Anastasia Dobromyslova in the past two quarter-finals of that organisation's World Championship have not done her talent justice as she juggles home life with the desire to make a mark.

The Doncaster star then gained revenge over Suzuki with a 5-4 semi-final win, before whitewashing Ireland's Robyn Byrne in the decider.
