Hewitt, who won the tournament four times between 2000 and 2006, would have been hopeful of making the latter stages of the competition, but the Australian couldn't cope with the big-serving 10th seed.

The former Wimbledon champion won just five points on his opponent's serve during the first set, which Lopez took 6-3, and it was a similar story during the second.

The left-hander secured the solitary break of serve in the seventh game of the set, and Hewitt had little answer as he fell to a 6-3 6-4 defeat.

Lopez will now play the winner of the match between Ernests Gulbis and Kenny de Schepper in the last 16.
