Yesterday my wife 'came across' this term in her weekly newspaper. She was reading an article on tennis in the 'Asahi Weekly'. Specifically,the piece concerned Kimiko Date-Krumm.She recently won a tournament at the 'ripe old age' of 38 (and 11 months). Usually most professional sports people are considered 'well past their prime'as they approach/reach their mid-30's. So,it is a fantastic achievement,but my wife was confused with the way 'upset' was used in the article. Do you know what it refers to here?
