In the first set of the final Hughes was the only player to lose his service. The Englishmen went off with a three-love lead in the second set and later they held three set points when leading 5–2. Crawford and McGrath saved it, won the next three games and – after Perry evened the games again – they took advantage off Hughes' double fault in the 13th to close this set winning the 14th to love. In the last three games of the mostly one-sided third set Australian pair lost only four points and sealed their victory with an ace.

Falling light caused a cessation of play in three matches in earlier rounds.

In the first round Bromwich and Huxley, colts from New South Wales, took a 2 sets to 1 lead against the first seeds Hughes and Perry. Because of the rain no matches were played the next day and this rubber was concluded three days later on Monday, 7 January. Defending champions fully recovered winning remaining two sets. The same day, in the quarterfinals, another match was not completed in which previous year finalists and the second seeds Quist and Turnbull trailed the Frenchmen Boussus and Brugnon two sets. Two days later they improved accuracy and resorted to lobbing to win remaining three sets with relative ease. Later that day other quarterfinal match between Menzel/Moon and Hopman/Maier remain unfinished and the score stood at two sets all. The next day the latter pair won fifth set and went on to play their semifinals against Hughes/Perry.
