(CNN) -- Reigning champion Andy Roddick suffered a shock defeat in the second round of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami on Saturday losing 6-4 7-6 (4) to Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas.
The eighth seed looked out of sorts serving six double faults during the match.

Roddick is the second high-profile casualty in the men's draw after Andy Murray exited the tournament on Friday -- the Scot tamely surrendering to Alex Bogomolov Jr 6-1 7-5.
Cuevas will now face France's Giles Simon who defeated qualifier Rainer Schuettler in straight sets 6-4 6-3.
Roger Federer enjoyed a comfortable 6-3 6-3 win over Radek Stepanek from the Czech Republic.
