John Fitzgerald and Anders Järryd were the defending champions, but lost in the second round to McEnroe and Stich. This was the second year in a row that an unseeded team featuring McEnroe defeated the defending champions.
The 1992 final featured two unheralded teams that defeated the number one and number two seeds in the draw respectively on their way to the final. Fitzgerald and Järryd, the defending champions and number one seeds, had featured in three of the past four finals, but lost in the second round to the unseeded duo of McEnroe and Stich. Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde, the number two seeds who would go on to win the championship the next five years in a row, were ousted here in the semifinals by Grabb and Reneberg.
