In 2021, Mexican Paola Longoria won her fourth World Championship in women's singles,[1] which set the record for most titles - one more than Americans Cheryl Gudinas and Michelle Gould. Longoria defeated American Kelani Lawrence in the final, and Lawrence, as the 11th seed, was a surprise finalist.[2]
The 2021 World Championships used a two-stage format with an initial group stage that was a round robin with the results used to seed players for a medal round.
