Todd Woodbridge andMark Woodforde were the defending champions, host nation heroes, number one seeds, and favorites. 1996 bronze medalistDavid Prinosil of Germany returned, now partnered withTommy Haas.[2]
Belarus made its debut in the event. Russia made its first separate appearance since 1912. Great Britain made its ninth appearance in the event, most of any nation.
The competition was a single-elimination tournament with a bronze medal match. All matches except the final were best-of-three sets; the final was best-of-five. Tiebreaks were used for any set before the third (fifth in the final) that reached 6–6.
