Conchita Martínez and Patricia Tarabini were the defending champions, but competed this year with different partners. Martínez teamed up with Arantxa Sánchez Vicario and reached the semifinals, while Tarabini teamed up with Nicole Arendt and lost in quarterfinals to Barbara Schett and Patty Schnyder.
