• Winner, 2014 JAPAN LADIES STAGE 4 /
  STAGE 5 / STAGE 6 / STAGE 8 / STAGE 9

Mikuru Suzuki is regarded as one of the strongest female players in Japan.
In THE WORLD, she is Best32 that is the best record of female players.
Her overwhelming performance is pushing Suzuki toward the top in the annual ranking of JAPAN LADIES that is a professional darts tour for women in Japan.

Suzuki defeated the ranking leader, Adrian Gray in THE WORLD STAGE 3 after conquering intense games. Suzuki tied for the first place in the female player ranking when she advanced to the 3rd round in STAGE 3.
She thought "I want one more winning." at the time.
"My opponent was Adrian Grey. I only knew him by the name. I didn't even know he was the STAGE 1 winner. After the match, I found out that he was the annual point ranking leader at that time." She said with a smile.
The match against Grey lasted into the final leg, and she grabbed a victory by breaking Grey in the last cricket. "I am glad that I could post 6.4 stats in the last cricket." Her performance can beat players in any category.

Suzuki's next opponent was Croatia's Boris Krčmar, a leading player in THE WORLD.
Suzuki lost 0-3 in the match for Best16, but she enchanted audience with her performance such as responding to Krčmar's white horse by her white horse.
"I am not sure whether I was nervous or not. I was rather having an adrenaline rush. Krčmar was very strong. I lost the game because of my miss. For the next opportunity if it is available, I want to play more precisely."
Krčmar won this STAGE after defeating Suzuki.

"THE WORLD is a great experience for me. If I lose even once, it is over in single elimination but it is a great opportunity to compete against players from overseas. I hope I can compete against as many players as I can in the upcoming STAGE 4 in Japan."

Highly anticipated STAGE 4 will start on Sep. 28(Sun).
