Roddick was comprehensively beaten in the day's opening men's match

Andy Roddick became the biggest casualty of the men's draw so far at the French Open as he lost 6-4 6-4 6-2 to qualifier Teimuraz Gabashvili.

Sixth seed Roddick, whose preparations have been hit by a virus, saw his miserable Roland Garros record extended by this loss to the world number 114.

Roddick's last-16 defeat by Frenchman Gael Monfils last year was his best performance at the event.

Russia's Gabashvili will go on to play either Jurgen Melzer or David Ferrer.

As the 25-year-old secured the crucial break in the seventh game of the opening set, an out-of-sorts Roddick threw his racket towards his entourage in frustration.

But the American could not rouse himself to respond and a single break proved enough for Gabashvili in the second as well.

Roddick, who was involved in several tense exchanges with the umpire, then conceded his first two service games of the third as another early departure from the tournament was sealed.

For Gabashvili a possible quarter-final meeting with third seed Novak Djokovic awaits should he overcome Austria's Melzer or Spain's Ferrer.
