PARIS - A photo of Andy Roddick graced the cover of the French Open program Wednesday morning, along with the headline, "L'Americain de service" - a play on words that makes reference to his best shot and translates to, "The token American."

By evening, he was gone, upset by Olivier Mutis, a Frenchman ranked 125th who hadn't won a match on tour in 2004 until Monday.

"When a French player arrives at the French Open," Mutis said. "you forget everything you've done before."

Roddick joined Andre Agassi and eight other compatriots on the way home, making this the first Grand Slam tournament without a U.S. man in the third round since the 1973 Australian Open - none entered that tournament.

"It's extremely disappointing. There's no doubt there are issues with clay," the second-seeded Roddick said. "It's something we're going to have to fix."

Clay is considered an equalizer in tennis. In a match preceding Roddick's 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-2 setback against Olivier Mutis, top-ranked Justine Henin-Hardenne lost 7-5, 6-4 to 86th-ranked Tathiana Garbin.

That ended Henin-Hardenne's 15-match winning streak at majors, spanning titles at the U.S. and Australian Opens. It also made her the second defending women's champion since 1925 to exit the French Open in the second round.

"It was my bad day, and it was her great day," Henin-Hardenne said.

Henin-Hardenne missed the past six weeks with a viral infection, and against Garbin she double-faulted 10 times and converted only four of 18 break points.
