Andy Roddick lost in the French Open's third round Saturday to 114th-ranked qualifier Teimuraz Gabashvili of Russia.
American twins Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan were also ousted, upset in the second round of doubles play by unseeded Brazilians Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares.
Gabashvili beat the sixth-seeded Roddick 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.
The top-seeded Bryans lost 6-3, 7-6 (6), ending their bid for a record 62nd career doubles championship.
The Bryans tied the Open era mark of 61 men's doubles titles -- originally set by the retired Australian pair of Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde -- by winning at the Madrid Masters two weeks ago. The Bryans won their eighth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January.
