Rob Cross recently was seen at a local open winning the title ahead of his return to action at the Hungarian Darts Trophy as he looks to get the practice in.
Cross has shown glimmers of returning towards his previous best and believes he is a lot more positive now than before and has a second World title potentially in his sights.
"I'm going to have a great three, four months left. I'm determined. I never really put the time in and never really sort of made the effort and that goes on me. If you're in a good place, you'll do it and if you're not you won't," said Cross to the Weekly Dartscast.
"This year I'm a lot more positive and I've managed to get a few bits sorted so I'm looking forward to the rest of the year and why can't I win the World Championship again because I've won it already and if I'm playing my best, I think I'll win it again."
