Klaasen targeting return to form: ‘It’s a matter of time until the old Jelle turns up’

Klaasen is targeting this return to form in time for the World Championship and sees everything before that as a bonus. "It's a matter of time until the 'old Jelle' turns up. I know I can be one of the top ten players in the world again," said ‘The Cobra’ who faces Peter Wright in the second round of the European Darts Trophy after . "I know what I can do, I know it's still there but the hardest thing about darts for me is the mental aspect - sometimes I think about it too much. "A lot of times this year I've been 3-0 ahead, feeling really focused but then I when I start thinking 'yes this is it, I'm back' I miss doubles to win legs. "Then I get so disappointed in myself that the next time I'm 3-0 up in a game I start thinking about the last time I lost from 3-0 ahead, so I would say my bad form has been down to a lack of confidence. "This year hasn't been great for me so now I'm looking to build toward the World Championship and peak for that, if I do well in anything else before then it's a bonus."
