Anastasia Petrovna Dobromyslova-Martin (Russian: Анастаси́я Петро́вна Добромы́слова; born 26 September 1984) is a professional darts player. She is a three-time Women's World Professional Darts Champion of the British Darts Organisation. After winning her first title in 2008, she decided to join the rival male-dominated Professional Darts Corporation to play in their World Championship in 2009. After rejoining the BDO in 2011, she won her second World Championship in 2012 and a third in 2013.
She uses the song "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. She carries the name From Russia With Love, although Dobromyslova has stated herself that it isn't an official nickname. She is more commonly known as just Anastasia due to the difficulty English-speaking commentators and announcers have pronouncing her surname.
Dobromyslova started to play darts at the age of twelve, and has won the Russian National Championship a total of ten times. According to Dobromyslova, it was quite easy because hardly anyone played the game in Russia. She won the Girls' World Masters title in 2001, and won the WDF Europe Youth Cup singles title in 2001 and 2002.
She made her professional major debut at the 2004 Bavaria World Darts Trophy, where she beat Trina Gulliver in the quarter final, averaging 90. After beating Mieke de Boer in the semis, she lost to Francis Hoenselaar in the final.
In 2007, Dobromyslova made her debut in the BDO World Championship at Lakeside, as the number 4 seed, reaching the semi-finals. After beating Sweden's Carina Ekberg in the quarter-finals, she fell to eventual winner, Trina Gulliver. During the year, she won the England Open and the British Open, amongst several other singles titles across Europe. In October, she represented Russia in the 2007 WDF World Cup in the Netherlands, and won the ladies' pairs title with Irina Armstrong.
