Beau Greaves took Rob Cross to a last-leg decider before losing 6-5 on her European Tour debut in the first round of the Hungarian Darts Trophy. Rising star Greaves, 22, made history by becoming the first woman to compete in a PDC European Tour event after qualifying last month. And she pushed the experienced Cross to a deciding 11th leg in a thrilling tie on Friday evening, averaging an impressive match-best of 104.88 and hitting five 180s.

Cross, who played well himself with an 101.90 average, had made a flying start to the match with a 170 first-leg checkout but Greaves quickly showed her competitiveness and took the next two legs. She moved one more leg away from victory at 5-4 but Cross hit back to win the final two, with Greaves left to rue mistakes with her first two darts in the decider when left with 70. Earlier on Friday evening and Hungary's own Laszlo Kadar had caused the upset of the night by beating Daryl Gurney 6-5.

Cross seized his first chance at victory by taking out 61, with the 35-year-old to now play Luke Woodhouse in Saturday's second round. Defending champion Niko Springer is also into round two after a comfortable 6-1 win over Maik Kuivenhoven, while former winners Joe Cullen and Dave Chisnall are also through after 6-3 victories. Humphries, Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen all enter the tournament in round two.
