Andy Roddick crashed out of the AEGON Championships at Queen's following a shock defeat to French outsider Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
Roddick, four-time champion here at Queen's, recovered well after losing the first set on Wednesday, but lost his nerve towards the end of the match, allowing the world number 67 to run out a 6-4 4-6 7-5 winner in the second-round clash on centre court.
Qualifier Roger-Vasselin lost their previous meeting, but showed immense composure in the final set, successfully defending a match point against him in the 10th game.
Roddick, seeded seventh, then wilted under pressure, double-faulting to give his opponent three break points.
The Frenchman took the opportunity at the second attempt, forcing the American to net after pushing him to the baseline with a searching forehand.
Roddick, world number 32, had to break serve to stay in the match but could not do so, with Roger-Vasselin sealing the win thanks to a clever drop shot.
Roger-Vasselin will play the winner of the match between David Nalbandian and Ruben Bemelmans in the next round.
