BEAU GREAVES has put her World Darts Championships ambitions at risk after pulling out of FIVE tournaments this weekend.

Greaves is currently the leader on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit after winning two of the first five tournaments in January.

But the 21-year-old star has put her lead at risk after skipping Germany‘s Tour 6-10.

It is not known why Greaves has withdrawn.

But it could cost her dearly in the long run – particularly at the end of the season.

The two highest ranked players will receive an invitation to the World Championships and receive a PDC Tour Card for the next two seasons.

But Greaves might not be planning to play at Ally Pally anyway.

The 21-year-old can’t play at the World Championships later this year if she opts to defend her women’s WDF world title.

If Greaves wants to compete at Ally Pally, she would have to forego defending her women’s title, which she won in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Speaking last year, she said: “It’s a shame they make you choose. I don’t understand that.

“I don’t know why they do. I think it’s stupid. I wouldn’t go on and win Ally Pally.

“I’d give it a good crack and see if I played well. But, ultimately, I want to be a ladies’ world champion and we’ll see if I can do that again in December.”

Women’s world No.1 Greaves attempted to earn a PDC Tour Card in January.

She headed to Q-School in Milton Keynes, but fell in the second round to Carl Sneyd.

Greaves plays in the Women’s Series and will be favourite to win the Women’s World Matchplay in Blackpool for a third successive time in July.

She came within three legs of producing the greatest darts performance by a woman on TV at the UK Open last month.

The Doncaster thrower, 21, went toe-to-toe with world No.1 Luke Humphries in their fourth-round clash at Butlin’s Minehead.

But in the closing stages on the main stage, she came up just short, as Humphries succeeded 10-7.

The pair embraced on the stage, shared a long hug in a huge sign of respect and then Humphries raised her hand before the crowd.

It's followed him for 40 years.

End of an era.

Enzo Maresca confirmed that Robert Sanchez will feature in the starting line-up for Chelsea’s Premier League clash at Arsenal on Sunday.

Maresca dropped Sanchez after the Spaniard committed an error that led to Erling Haaland’s goal in his side’s 3-1 defeat at Manchester City in January, with backup stopper Filip Jorgensen starting four straight Premier League games.

However, Sanchez returned to the lineup for a 1-0 league win over Leicester City last week after Jorgensen fared little better in the spotlight.

‘It will be Robert playing against Arsenal. Since we started, the idea was not to change keepers, but sometimes you have to modify and be flexible with your ideas,’ Maresca told reporters on Friday.

‘We do this in the game plan, we do this the way we want to attack, the way we want to defend, but also we need to be flexible on players. I think Robert needed some days off, or at least some rest mentally.

‘Now he’s back, hopefully we are not going to change until the end. Also because I said many times, we are quite happy with both keepers.’

Chelsea, who are fourth in the league standings with 49 points from 28 matches, trail second-placed Arsenal by six points and will be looking to make up ground with a win.

Asked about the possibility of challenging the north London club for second place, Maresca said: ‘But they can also be nine points (ahead). At the moment they are six. We are not focused on that.

‘We are just focused on how we can do our game, how we can try to beat them and then hopefully we can do that and we can be more close… Yes, it (second place) could be a target for sure.

‘It’s our duty to do our best, but at the same time I think the target for us right now is Sunday’s game, and then game after game to see how we can get closer.’

Both sides will be without a recognised striker on Sunday, with winger Pedro Neto expected to lead the line for Chelsea in the absence of injured forward Nicolas Jackson, while Arsenal have played midfielder Mikel Merino up front in recent weeks.

‘Yeah, it’s quite strange for both, because we have all of them injured, but I think they are trying to find a solution. We are trying to find a solution at the same time,’ Maresca said.

‘Pedro, since we started, is doing, I think, very well in that position. We’ll see if Sunday we use Pedro there or we change something.

‘All the clubs during the season, they have moments where they have injuries, so they need to adapt, they need to be flexible and try to find a solution.’

'I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II. God bless them all!!!'

It has not been reported which character she was set to play.

A modern revival of a classic has been reduced to an astronomically cheap price, ahead of its sequel later this year.
