Mikuru Suzuki nearly springs an upset against James Richardson
WOMEN’S world champion Mikuru Suzuki came close to making history at the PDC World Darts Championship as she nearly ousted James Richardson.
No woman has won a match at the flagship tournament at Alexandra Palace, but the Japanese — who is the BDO women’s world champion — had darts to beat Richardson in the first round.
She had to take out 152 in the sudden-death leg of the match but missed her second treble, which allowed a relieved Richardson to clinch it with double top.
