Rhian O’Sullivan has maintained her impressive lead in the MODUS Super Series Women’s Week, winning four out of five matches on Tuesday to solidify her top spot. With rivals Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock hot on her heels, Wednesday’s final Group A matches are set to be crucial as players battle to secure their place in Saturday’s grand finale.
O’Sullivan Extends Her Unbeaten Streak
Darts sensation Rhian O’Sullivan continued her formidable performance in the MODUS Super Series Women’s Week, extending her lead at the top of Group A. After a strong opening day, O’Sullivan returned on Tuesday to secure four victories from her five matches, showcasing consistent form and strategic play.
Her dominant day included impressive wins against Kirsi Viinikainen, Fallon Sherrock, Vicky Pruim, and Lorraine Hyde. The only player to halt her momentum was Lisa Ashton, who handed O’Sullivan her sole defeat of the day. Despite this minor setback, O’Sullivan now boasts a remarkable 16 points out of a possible 20, putting her in a strong position heading into the final day of Group A.
The Battle for the Top Spots Intensifies
While O’Sullivan holds a clear lead, the competition behind her is fiercely contested. Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock are her closest challengers, both tied for second and third place respectively. Their current standings are:
- Lisa Ashton: 12 points (2nd place)
- Fallon Sherrock: 12 points (3rd place)
Just behind them, Kirsi Viinikainen is holding onto fourth place with 10 points, still very much in contention. The lower half of the table sees Lorraine Hyde in fifth with 6 points and Vicky Pruim in sixth with 4 points. Every match on Wednesday will be critical for these players as they strive to improve their standings and secure a pathway to the next stages.
