MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Defending champion Andy Roddick was upset by Xavier Malisse, 7-6 (8), 7-5, in an opening-round match Wednesday night in the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships.

For Roddick, whose world ranking has slipped to 27th, it was his earliest exit from the Memphis tournament in 12 appearances. Malisse, ranked 75th, was winless in four matches this season and in nine career matches against Roddick.
