Crossword Genius

Disappointment for fan? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blow

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'disappointment' is the first definition.
(blow can mean a setback or difficulty)

'fan?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for blow that I've seen before include "Clip" , "Cannabis" , "Bang, wallop" , "Sudden misfortune" , "Sudden shock, wind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
