The Woodies became the first pair to win multiple medals in the event, and the second and third individuals to do so (Reginald Doherty won two golds with different partners in 1900 and 1908). In the bronze medal match, Spain's Àlex Corretja and Albert Costa defeated South Africa's David Adams and John-Laffnie de Jager, 2–6, 6–4, 6–3. It was Spain's second (after 1988) medal at the event.
