Peter Fleming and John McEnroe were the defending champions but they competed with different partners that year, Fleming with Gary Donnelly and McEnroe with his brother Patrick.
Donnelly and Fleming lost in the first round to Brad Drewett and Wally Masur, as did the McEnroes to Brad Pearce and Jim Pugh.
There was no result for the tournament due to rain. The final would have seen Paul Annacone and Christo van Rensburg take on Ken Flach and Robert Seguso.[1]
