Greaves is officially 120th in the PDC world rankings, which are based on prize money, and her ranking is likely to rise when she joins the main tour.<\/p>\n
“In the ladies’ series, winning every time, that feeling becomes repetitive. Once you step onto the main tour and you’re losing a lot more it can knock your confidence,” added Humphries.<\/p>\n
“But she’ll gain experience from it and playing against the best players week in, week out will make her a better player.<\/p>\n
“If she’s at this standard now, give her two or three years and I do think she’ll be a top-32 player, maybe even top-16 or close to it. She’s got a great throw, good temperament, she’s good under pressure as well.”<\/p>\n
As for this World Championship, Greaves would face world number 42 Callan Rydz in round two should she overcome Gurney, with 11th seed Josh Rock a potential third-round opponent.<\/p>\n
“Fallon Sherrock got through a couple of rounds, but Beau Greaves could go further,” says Matt Edgar, who made three PDC World Championship appearances.<\/p>\n
“She could go deep, she’s got the levels, I wouldn’t be surprised in a few years if we are talking about Beau Greaves being one of the favourites coming into this event once she’s gained a little more experience.<\/p>\n
“She’s shown she can compete with the very best in the world.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greaves is officially 120th in the PDC world rankings, which are based on prize money, and her ranking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-199910","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
