Professional career

Chardy made his Grand Slam debut in 2006, receiving a wild card at the French Open, where he beat Jonas Björkman in straight sets in the first round, before losing in four sets to fifteenth-seeded David Ferrer in the second round.

In 2008, after losing the final of the Marrakech Challenger in May to eventual French Open semifinalist Gaël Monfils, Chardy produced his best Grand Slam showing so far at the French Open, where he entered as a wild card and came back in the second round from two-sets-to-love down to ATP no. 6 David Nalbandian to defeat him, 3–6, 4–6, 6–2, 6–1, 6–2. He continued his run by beating thirtieth seed Dmitry Tursunov 7–6(1), 6–3, 6–4, before losing in the fourth round to nineteenth seed Nicolás Almagro, 6-7(0) 6-7(7), 5-7, after holding set points in each of the three sets.

2009

Jérémy Chardy at the 2009 Australian Open,,

In 2009, he began with a first-round loss in Doha, before reaching the quarterfinals in Sydney, where he fell to Richard Gasquet, 2-6,6-7(4). At the Australian Open, he fell in the second round to defending champion Novak Djoković,5-7,1-6, 3-6.

In his next tournament at Johannesburg, he reached the semifinals, following three straight-sets wins. In the semifinals, he came up against world no. 13 David Ferrer and saved three match points in the second set to beat him 1–6, 7–6(9), 7–6(4), and reach his first ATP final. However, he lost the final to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6–4, 7–6(5).

He lost in the opening round of his next tournament, the 2009 Open 13 in Marseille, to Novak Djokovic, 6-7(4),4-6. In Delray Beach, he was seeded seventh and started by beating Tommy Haas, 7–6(7), 6–3. He followed up with victories over Andrey Golubev, 7–6(4), 7–5, and Marcos Baghdatis, 7–6(7), 7–6(3). He fell in the semifinals to top seed and eventual winner Mardy Fish, 4-6,1-6.

Chardy frequently plays doubles with compatriot Gilles Simon. They most recently competed at the Monte Carlo Masters together, losing to Nikolay Davydenko and Oliver Marach in the first round, 4-6, 1-6.

At Wimbledon, Chardy lost in the first round to eventual finalist Andy Roddick, 3-6, 6-7(3), 6-4, 3-6.

Next, Chardy played at the MercedesCup in Stuttgart. He first beat José Acasuso, 6–2, 7–6(4), then Martín Vassallo Argüello, 2–6, 6–3, 6–1. He then defeated local hopes Mischa Zverev, 7–6(4), 6–1, and Nicolas Kiefer, 6–3, 7–5, on the same day to reach his second career final, where he triumphed over fourth-seeded Victor Hănescu, 1–6, 6–3, 6–4, to clinch his maiden ATP title.

2010

At the beginning of the 2010 season, he started poorly; losing in the first rounds of the Brisbane International, Heineken Open, the Australian Open, and the SAP Open. However, he finally registered his first win in the tour, at the 2010 Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in style, as he beat second seed Fernando Verdasco, 7–6(4), 6–3 in the first round. This was arguably his best win to date and only his fourth win against a top-10 player. At the 2010 Rogers Cup, Chardy defeated Verdasco once more in the second round and followed this up with an easy win over sixth-ranked Nikolay Davydenko in the round of 16, before losing to Novak Djokovic, 2-6, 3-6, in the quarterfinals.

2011

In 2011, Chardy played principally in Challenger tournaments, reaching several finals, both in singles and in doubles. He qualified for the Kremlin Cup and reached the semifinals, where he was defeated by Victor Troicki, 4-6, 4-6.
