Stan Wawrinka took just 96 minutes to beat Turkey's Marsel Ilhan 6-3 6-2 6-3.
Having been knocked out in the first round last year, eighth-seed Warinka secured early breaks in each of the sets to win with ease against the Turkish youngster.

Russian veteran Mikhail Youzhny's tournament did not last long. He quit when trailing Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur 6-2 6-1 -- smashing his racket into his forehead several times as his frustration boiled over.
Local favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga rounded off proceedings against Swedish qualifier Christian Lindell with a 6-1 6-2 6-2 win.
