The tournament was held at the Vall d'Hebron complex on Montjuïc, Barcelona, Spain from 30 July to 7 August 1992. There were 30 pairs from 30 nations, with each nation limited to one pair (two players), [1] though the Moroccan and Hungarian pairs did not start.
This was the ninth appearance of men's doubles tennis. The event has been held at every Summer Olympics where tennis has been on the program: from 1896 to 1924 and then from 1988 to the current program. A demonstration event was held in 1968.
Germany's Boris Becker and Michael Stich were prominent singles players, but not well known as a doubles team.[1]
The Bahamas, Croatia, Portugal, Puerto Rico, San Marino, and Slovenia each made their debut in the event. Great Britain made its seventh appearance in the event, most of any nation.
Competition formatedit
The competition was a single-elimination tournament. Unlike the pre-hiatus tournaments, there was no bronze-medal match. All matches were best-of-five sets. Tiebreaks were used for any set before the fifth that reached 6–6.
