Talk:Jennifer Mundel

COI edit request: name, career section, post-playing career

Disclosure: I am the son of the article subject. I will not edit the article directly. I am also the author of a draft at Draft:Dennis Reinbold about her late husband, and I disclose that here so reviewers can weigh these requests accordingly. All sourcing below is independent of me.

Request 1: lead sentence and article title

The WTA's official player profile — already linked from this article — lists the subject as "Jennifer Mundel-Reinbold", and the infobox already carries that as her full name. I'd propose the lead read:

Jennifer Mundel-Reinbold (born 20 January 1962), who competed as

Jennifer Mundel, is a former professional tennis player from South Africa.

I would also suggest, for editors to decide, that the article be moved to Jennifer Mundel-Reinbold on the same WTA sourcing, and that a redirect be created from Jennifer Reinbold, which is the name she uses today. I am not filing a move request myself given my conflict of interest.

Request 2: add a "Career" section

The article currently has no career prose beyond four sentences in the lead, and does not use the material already in the infobox. Proposed section, to follow the lead:

== Career ==

Mundel turned professional in 1979 and reached a career-high singles ranking of
world No. 55 in August 1983.<ref name="wta" />

Her best Grand Slam result came at the [[1983 Wimbledon Championships – Women's
singles|1983 Wimbledon Championships]]. Unseeded, she defeated eighth seed
[[Hana Mandlíková]] 5–7, 6–4, 6–4 in the fourth round to reach the
quarterfinals.<ref name="upi" /> There she lost to top seed and eventual champion
[[Martina Navratilova]] 6–3, 6–1.<ref name="ap-1983" />

Her only professional singles title came at the [[1983 Bakersfield Open]], part of
the Ginny Circuit. She was a doubles finalist at the 1982 [[Hong Kong Open
(tennis)|Hong Kong Open]], the [[1984 Central Fidelity Banks International]] and the
1985 [[Virginia Slims of Indianapolis]], and reached the doubles quarterfinals at
Wimbledon in 1986.

Note for reviewers: several Wikipedia mirrors and AI-generated encyclopedia pages give her age and the quarterfinal score incorrectly. The two 1983 wire reports above are contemporaneous and agree with each other.

Request 3: add an "After tennis" section

I flag up front that the only source I have found for this is affiliated, so reviewers may prefer to decline it or to attribute it in-text. Proposed section:

== After tennis ==

After retiring from the tour, Mundel worked in junior player development in
Indiana, serving as a Central Indiana Wightman Cup coach, a Midwest sectional
coach, and a coach and administrator at a USTA Area Training Center. She is
president of the Rajeev Ram Foundation, an Indianapolis youth tennis
charity.<ref name="rrf" />

Source: {{cite web |title=Our Team |url=https://www.rajeevramfoundation.org/our-team |publisher=Rajeev Ram Foundation |access-date=August 6, 2026}}

If an editor knows of USTA Midwest, Indianapolis Star, or Indiana tennis coverage of this period of her career, that would be a better source than the foundation's own site and I would welcome the substitution.

Thank you. DRRIndyCar2026 (talk) 20:09, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

While I don't have time to respond to the full set of inquiries, I will address one aspect. We should not move the article to Jennifer Mundel-Reinbold. Part of our guide to naming articles points to what the person has been most commonly refer to. While I do find reasonable amounts of coverage (via newspapers.com) with the -Reinbold from October 1987 through 1994, there is coverage with just Jennifer Mundel (or occasionally "Jenny") starting in 1978, and this covers the period when she did the things most worthy of note; all of the items currently called out in our article predate 1987.

I have created the redirect from Jennifer Reinbold as requested. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 20:35, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

I have now added the Career section, with slight edits -- including a "citation needed" for the claim that the specific result was her best, as a dated source cannot tell us that. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 01:27, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
