NEW YORK - Andy Roddick ran into a bold, bigger version of himself at the U.S. Open, and 6-foot-6 Joachim Johansson sent the defending champion home.

Roddick was upset 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 6-4 Thursday night by another 22-year-old brandishing a powerful serve and forehand, but also someone who has won just one title, was playing in his first major quarterfinal and who started the year ranked 113th.

Far less surprising was Andre Agassi's exit earlier Thursday. That's because he was up against No. 1 Roger Federer, who won 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in a quarterfinal suspended by rain early in the fourth set the night before and wrapped up in the worst of swirling winds.

It's the first time since 1986 that no American man reached the Open semifinals.

Federer will face No. 5 Tim Henman, while Johansson, having eliminated the 2003 Open winner, goes up against the 2001 champion, Lleyton Hewitt - whose sister Jaslyn just happens to be the 28th-seeded Swede's girlfriend.

Johansson played pretty much perfectly for the first two sets and threw Roddick off his game. Twice, Johansson held serve after being down love-40; once, he broke Roddick after trailing 40-love.

In the final game of the match, No. 2 Roddick fell behind love-40 with a double-fault, saved two match points thanks to big serves, then sailed a backhand long on the third. Up at the net for a postmatch handshake, the 6-2 Roddick reached up to tap Johansson on the chest.

In the third and fourth sets, it was Roddick's turn to be brilliant, with a total of three unforced errors. Actually, Roddick won far more points: 152 to 128. But he converted only three of 15 break chances.

Hours earlier, Agassi sat alone, staring blankly at an Arthur Ashe Stadium doorway.

Soon, he'd walk through that exit, his U.S. Open done.

"My game plan is to play until I can't do it," Agassi said. "As of right now, I'm trying to win tournaments, and I believe that with that focus, I can still do that."
