Beau Greaves made darts history by becoming the first woman to win a match on the European Tour. The 22-year-old, who was edged out 6-5 by Rob Cross on her European Tour debut in Hungary last week, beat Daryl Gurney 6-4 in the Czech Open.

Gurney beat Greaves in a deciding set in their first-round match at the PDC World Championship in December and he moved into a 3-1 lead in Prague. However, Greaves reeled off three straight legs with 14, 13 and 11-dart finishes to go 4-3 in front and, even though Gurney levelled at 4-4, she went on to take victory and become the first female winner in the European Tour's 15-year history.

"It feels amazing," said Greaves, who will play world number two Luke Humphries in the second round on Saturday. "It's just so nice to win a game, I was so nervous at the start, I don't know why. It took me so long to get settled, but luckily I did enough to win the game."

It is the latest in a list of achievements for Doncaster's Greaves which include her becoming the first woman to win a PDC ranking title when she beat Michael Smith in April. She is also the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC Pro Tour, having done so in a win against Mensur Suljovic in February. On facing Humphries, she added: "I've played Luke on the big stage before so I know what to expect, he's world class so I'm going to have to play a lot better than I did tonight."
