The PDC has decided not to penalize Fallon Sherrock for her actions during her recent World Championship match against Dave Chisnall. Sherrock playfully mimicked the same table-rocking gesture that her former partner, Cameron Menzies, had done earlier in the tournament.
Menzies, after losing to Charlie Manby, vented his frustration on the table and sustained injuries. Despite their past relationship, Sherrock’s behavior has been perceived as light-hearted given the circumstances of their split earlier this year.
PDC CEO Matt Porter emphasized the availability of support for Menzies following his emotional reaction to the defeat, prioritizing his well-being. Both Sherrock and Menzies were eliminated in the first round of the championship. Sherrock struggled with her doubles against Chisnall, resulting in a 3-0 loss.
Menzies, seeded 26th, expressed personal challenges following his loss, citing the recent passing of his uncle as a contributing factor to his emotional response on stage. Despite his struggles, he acknowledged his actions were inappropriate and praised his opponent’s performance.
Chisnall, after defeating Sherrock, acknowledged the competitive nature of the match and praised her scoring abilities. He advances to face Ricardo Pietreczko in the next round. The tournament continues with seeded players like Josh Rock and Nathan Aspinall competing on Friday.
