It was Montoya's second world title, as he won men's singles in 2018. He joins American Todd O'Neill and Mexican Alvaro Beltran as the only men to win both singles and doubles at the World Championships. Mar and Montoya beat Bolivians Roland Keller and Conrrado Moscoso in the final, which was the first time Bolivia had reached the finals.
