The 20-year-old Spaniard is seen as the most realistic challenger to Novak Djokovic's bid for an eighth title this fortnight.
He proved his blossoming grass-court credentials by winning at Queen's last weekend, and then produced an impressive all-round display, dismantling Chardy for two sets before digging in to take the third for a 6-0 6-2 7-5 win under the roof on Court One.
Chardy had announced he would retire after the Championships, with the London-based Frenchman calling time on his career 18 years after winning the Wimbledon boys' title.
The 36-year-old, who reached a career high of 25 in the world, had said beforehand the match would "be a great end, no matter what".
