Throughout their run, Kokkinakis and Kyrgios (dubbed "the Special K's") generated more fan fervor than usual for a doubles team. The New York Times wrote that their "mix of skill and showmanship ... has turned their matches into raucous celebrations".

Ivan Dodig and Filip Polášek were the defending champions, but did not participate together. Dodig partnered Marcelo Melo and lost to Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini in the second round, while Polášek partnered John Peers and lost to Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the quarterfinals.
