Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell were the defending champions,[1] but chose not to defend the title together. Ebden partnered Rohan Bopanna and Purcell partnered Jordan Thompson, but both lost to Koolhof and Skupski in the semifinals and in the third round, respectively.
This marks the first year that men's doubles were played in best-of-three sets instead of best-of-five.[2]
Koolhof and Skupski regained the men's doubles No. 1 ranking at the end of the tournament, after current No. 1 Austin Krajicek lost in the second round. Rajeev Ram was also in contention for the No. 1 ranking at the beginning of the tournament.
