The International Racquetball Federation's 17th Racquetball World Championships were held in Burlington, Ontario, Canada from June 14 to 21, 2014.[1] This was the second time Worlds were in Canada. Previously, they were in Montreal in 1992.
American Rocky Carson and Mexican Paola Longoria were the incumbent champions in men's and women's singles, respectively, and both successfully defended their titles.
Longoria was also the incumbent champion in women's doubles with Samantha Salas and they also successfully defended their title. Fellow Mexicans Álvaro Beltrán and Javier Moreno were the defending champions in men's doubles, but Mexico didn't make the podium in Burlington.
Instead, Colombians Sebastian Franco and Alejandro Herrera defeated Canadians Mike Green and Vincent Gagnon in the final, which was the first men's doubles World Championship not won by either the USA or Mexico.
