Ryan Meikle could prevent a mouth-watering clash at the world championshipsGettyMeikle could meet teenage superstar Luke Littler in the second round at Ally PallyRex
If victorious, he will reach the second round of the world championships for a third successive year.
But Meikle’s progression would be gut-wrenching for many darts fanatics as it would prevent a meeting between Sherrock and teenage sensation Luke Littler.
Littler, 17, has taken the darts world by storm since his fairytale run to the final at Ally Pally back in January – where he lost to Luke Humphries.
And a clash with Sherrock for a place in the third round is a fascinating prospect.
Yet Meikle stands in the way of the blockbuster match-up.
Reacting to the situation the draw has thrown up, one fan said: “It would be hilarious if Ryan Meikle went and beat them both.”
While another added: “Ryan Meikle, you have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.”
And a third replied: “Everyone just writing off Ryan Meikle against Fallon already? Ryan been playing well this year.”

Ipswich fan Meikle was in attendance at his side’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United and tweeted about both the game and the draw for the world championships on Sunday evening.
He said: “Back from Minehead just in time to watch @IpswichTown another decent performance and well deserved point against United .
“Thanks for all the messages over the weekend much appreciated, look forward to the world championship draw tomorrow .”
Sherrock reached the third round of the world championships in 2019, but has suffered first-round eliminations in each of the last three years.
