Paola Longoria
Paola Longoria has won six women's singles World Championships — in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2021, 2022, and 2024, most recently defeating Gabriela Martínez 11-5 in the San Antonio final — the most of any woman in the sport's history according to Guinness World Records. She also won four World Championship doubles titles partnered with Samantha Salas, in 2021 becoming the most decorated doubles pairing in the sport, and first won a Pan American Championship in 2006, the start of a run that made her the first Mexican woman ever to reach world number one. Longoria has now held that world number one ranking for well over a decade, sustaining her dominance across multiple generations of rising competitors from Mexico, the United States, and Latin America more broadly. Her combination of a record six singles World Championships and four doubles titles with Samantha Salas has made Longoria almost universally regarded as the greatest women's racquetball player in the sport's history.
VS
Michelle Key
Michelle Key, born in Phoenix in 1988, reached a career-high world ranking of seventh in 2014-15 and spent much of her career as one of the top American women chasing Paola Longoria's international dominance, reaching National Championship finals in singles (2016) and doubles (2013) without quite breaking through for the title in either. She won a Pan American Championship in mixed doubles partnered with Sam Bredenbeck, and added two Pan American Games medals with Team USA's women's squad — silver in Toronto in 2015 and bronze in Santiago in 2023. Key, now competing under the name Michelle Key Anderson, finally won her first National Singles title at the 2026 USA Racquetball National Indoors Championship, a breakthrough that came a full decade after her runner-up finish at the same event. Her combination of sustained top-10 world rankings across more than a decade and her eventual 2026 National Singles breakthrough has made Key one of the more persistent and ultimately rewarded careers in American women's racquetball.
