Rob Cross has returned to form as of late winning the European Championship Darts as well as backing that up with further ProTour success.
This in a remarkable turnaround for 'Voltage' who only weeks before was staring down at a potential rankings slide.
"I was looking at the rankings five weeks ago and you're thinking: 'Ooh, I'm in trouble here, I need to do something about it," he said on The Darts Show podcast.
"I looked and thought if I don't do something, I'm potentially 26th in the world. I don't feel like I should be there, but if you don't play the darts, you do deserve to be there."
Regaining love for darts
He has spoke about enjoying the game again and that he is pushing towards the top of the rankings again.
"I still loved the game, but I didn't enjoy it as much [last year]. I wasn't myself; I was a little bit flat, and I think you're worrying about missing that one dart at double.
"Now all of a sudden, I'm not thinking, I'm just going up there and doing. With those competitions and the way I am, I think I have a great run into the Worlds."
"One game at a time, play each tournament as it is coming, because if I look at it now, for the next 22 or 23 months, I've got nothing to defend.
"So, now is the time to push on and get my ranking back up to where I want it. Maybe next year if I can have a great end to this year, I can start pushing for world No 1."
