Open Wins

Can some one who knows wheelchair tennis take a look at the various article sources and determine what she actually won? There is conflicting source information as to what years and what events she won, as opposed to coming in second of third. "Daniela Di Toro". Victorian Institute of Sport. 2010. Retrieved 6 October 2011. says she won the Australian Open in 2003 but other sources in the articles say she came in second, and give a different listing of events she won. My head is spinning trying to determine which events she won. The only consistent point regarding her wins is the ones she had at the Paralympic Games. --LauraHale (talk) 11:21, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about the 2003 and 2004 events, but I removed the 2007 and 2008 wins that were incorrectly attributed to her. The source in the article put "1st" next to her name, but it did not mean that she won the events (Esther Vergeer won them), but that she lost in the 1st round. That source only goes back to 2007. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 08:39, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And now I found the source for 2002 to 2004 (from the australian open website, so as reliable as it gets): she came in second these years. (RU=runner-up). --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 08:47, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested Improvements

I would recommend moving the Personal life section to the beginning of the article and then re-work that section. For example, her place of residence is stated in the middle of the list of people she admires. Also, the sentence about her enjoying Japanese food, seems totally unnecessary.

I don't want to step on any toes, so I came here first. I will check back for any objections before making any changes.Van Vidrine (talk) 14:55, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it. :) --LauraHale (talk) 19:57, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She may have been selected to go but she did not compete. http://beta.itftennis.com/wheelchair/tournaments/tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1050000453 Pierricbross (talk) 13:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
