1987 Benson & Hedges Championships – Doubles

John McEnroe and Peter Fleming were the defending champions, but McEnroe could not compete this year after facing a two-month suspension due to committing three code violations on his match against Slobodan Živojinović at the US Open.[1][2][3] Fleming teamed up with Henri Leconte and lost in the first round to Mark Kratzmann and Laurie Warder.
