Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah were the defending champions from when the tournament was last held in 2019,^[2] but lost to Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in the quarterfinals.^[3]

Pavić and Nicolas Mahut were in contention for the ATP No. 1 doubles ranking. By winning his first round match, Pavić retained the top ranking.

Because of a delay in schedule due to rain, the first two rounds of the competition were played best-of-three sets instead of the usual best-of-five format.^[4]
