LONDON (Reuters) - Stan Wawrinka's new union with coaching consultant Richard Krajicek got off to the worst possible start as he lost 6-2 7-6 (3) to Fernando Verdasco in the first round of the Aegon Championships on Tuesday.

The second seed hired 1996 Wimbledon champion Krajicek for the grasscourt season but on Tuesday's evidence the Dutchman has his work cut out over the next two weeks if Wawrinka harbours any hopes of doing well at the All England Club.
