Granollers, ranked 129 in the world, made a strong start, but he never recovered after spurning a match point and collapsed in the latter stages of the second set, losing the tiebreak before being wiped out in the third.

“It’s really hard when you are so close and don’t kill off the game. It feels very tough to lose today, I’m not thinking positive things right now,” Granollers told reporters.

Feliciano López of Spain, who beat Dušan Lajović 6-4 2-6 6-4, and Malek Jaziri of Tunisia, who beat Ernesto Escobedo 6-4 6-3, will both join Goffin in the third round.

Spaniard Roberto Carbellés Baena earned the right to face world number one and 10-times tournament winner Rafael Nadal on Wednesday after comfortably beating Austrian Andreas Haider-Maurer 6-2 6-4 in a first-round match.
