Fallon Sherrock firmly believes she can win the World Darts Championship after beating Mensur Suljovic at Alexandra Palace to reach the last 32.
Sherrock, who became the first woman to win a match at the tournament with a first-round win over Ted Evetts on Tuesday, missed only five doubles in a superb performance against the Austrian.
The 25-year-old won the first set before Suljovic levelled the match. But Sherrock hit back and landed a dart at the bullseye to surge into the last 32, where she will meet Chris Dobey.
When asked if she could win the tournament, Sherrock told Sky Sports: "Why not? I have won two games, I am just going to take each game as it comes but there is nothing to say that I can't. I am going to try.
"I have just proved that we (women) can beat anyone. I have beaten two of the best players in the world. If that doesn't show that women can play darts, I don't know what does."
She added: "I'm speechless. With everything that has been going on the last couple of days I have just been focusing on my finishing because I know that I can score.
"I'm still waiting for it all to sink in. I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. It's amazing, when that dart (at bull to win) went in it was a sigh of relief."
