WDF World Cup Women Singles 2023

The 23rd edition of the WDF World Cup was held in Esbjerg in Denmark. From 26 to 30 September the tournament was played at the Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg. The tournament was initially going to be held in 2021, but the global corona pandemic forced the tournament to be postponed by two years.

Three countries are making their debut this World Cup. The Faroe Islands, Guernsey, and Liechtenstein. Marco Meijer from the Netherlands and Christian Sørensen from Denmark. The Netherlands is the defending champion in the mens event. For the women it is England defending its title and for the youth England was also the strongest in 2019.

It is England’s Beau Greaves who takes the title in 2023. She beat her compatriot Deta Hedman 7-5 in the final. Greaves does not lose a single leg until the quarterfinals, in the quarter-finals she has to concede a leg to Mayu Aoki from Japan. In the semi-finals she convincingly wins 6-2 against Noa-Lynn van Leuven from The Netherlands.

On the other side of the schedule, Deta Hedman is also playing a strong tournament. Only the Swedish Maud Jansson can steal two legs from the Englishwoman in the last 32. However, a tough task awaits her in the quarterfinals when she faces Dutch ace Anca Zijlstra. Ultimately, it takes a ninth and decisive leg to determine a winner. Hedman also needs a decisive leg in the semi-final, this time against the Finnish Kirsi Viinikainen, but again it is Hedman who has the nerves under control best and thus reaches the final of the WDF World Cup singles for the fourth time in her career.

In the final, Hedman takes a 2-0 lead, but Greaves quickly draws level at 2-2, then the score is level at 4-4. Then Greaves pulls clear at 6-4. Hedman manages to come back to 6-5, but in the 12th leg it is eventually Greaves who manages to take the victory and thus crowns herself WDF World Cup singles champion for the first time in her career. Deta Hedman takes silver, for the third time in her career, although she already won the title once in 2013.
