The world number 20 was broken five times in the second round clash as he was brushed aside by his French opponent 6-3 6-1 in a mere 58 minutes.

Mayer actually led 3-1 in the opening set but then proceeded to lose five games on the spin to slip behind. The second was even more one-sided, Chardy only dropping eight points on his own serve.

Next up will be Spaniard Albert Ramos, who avoided a similar fate to Mayer as he took 82 minutes to see off Romanian Victor Hanescu 6-2 6-4.
