TWICKENHAM -- This was the most curious of matches. The scoreboard showed a record 58-15 win over Fiji; it was job done but England at times looked vulnerable.Rhyme and reason was sometimes thrown into the cold, November air in a quiet Twickenham. For the first 30 minutes England played with a wonderful fluidity, exploiting Fijian lapses and lack of organisation to rack up a point a minute.But then the England systems started to creak, holes opened and suddenly the intensity had gone. The second half was at times played at walking pace with only momentary bursts from the Fijians and Englands back three interrupting the odd half cooked version of Swing, Low.The question hovering over this game is exactly what Eddie Jones would have learned from a match as, with the best will in the world, England were always going to win.The various close-ups of Jones face which appeared on the two big screens at Twickenham showed the characteristic upturned left eyebrow and the odd shake of the head.He will be pleased with their execution when try-scoring opportunities allowed but will be fuming at their defensive lapses. If they were a six out of 10 last week, you imagine hell offer this a lower mark.There were positives for England and if Jones was to take heart from a handful of performances then Elliot Dalys would be high up. In his first start on the wing since March 2013, and his first for England, he showcased his versatility with a performance of supreme assuredness.He drifted between his left wing berth and operating in the midfield with ease and took his try well. With Fijian kicking a little wayward, the ball rarely bounced around him and the way he popped up in the backline moves while also staying patiently on the wing would have pleased Jones.Alex Goode similarly impressed. His first involvement in the match was to, uncharacteristically, let a ball bounce in front of him but that was the only time he really showed nerves. Like Daly he was patient for his try and again like Daly he slotted into Englands backline as a playmaker, a dummy runner and the man to carry forward.Mike Brown has real competition for that fullback shirt. Completing the back three was Semesa Rokoduguni in his second cap and he showcased his attacking ability in devastating fashion.He is someone who is a ruthless finisher, a man so comfortable under the high ball and someone who manages to exploit any holes in opposition defences.But under the ever-critical eye of Jones, he will look at how Nemani Nadolo crashed through him - stopping the giant wing is no easy task, mind -- and then his positioning in the build up to the lineout which teed up Fijis second try.These positional nuances can be fixed, hes incredibly talented, but it remains to be seen if Jones wants to marshal that in-camp or ask for improvement back at Bath, restoring Marland Yarde in the process.This was more a match where Jones got to test Englands systems. During the week he talked about how the decision to play Daly on the flank and start Goode ahead of Brown was to build strength in depth ahead of the 2019 World Cup.Those are perhaps the most important lessons. You rarely get a free hit in international rugby but in a bizarre sort of way, these are the sorts of matches where Jones may learn the most.The England players focus, positioning and decision-making were all questioned by Fiji. Their scramble defence also had a work out.Up next is Argentina who will offer a far sterner test and it remains to be seen if Jones keeps the faith with those who were offered the opportunity of laying down their England marker.

NEW YORK -- Andy Murray was the defending champion in 2014 when his 23-year-old opponent swept him out of Wimbledon.Grigor Dimitrov stormed into his first major semifinal that day, and surely many more would be to come.More than two years later, though, Dimitrov has yet to make it past the round of 16 at any Grand Slam since. His ranking, once in the top 10, plummeted all the way to 40th this summer, not long after he lost his opening match at five straight tournaments.So it was quite the reversal when he won four times in the same event at Cincinnati shortly before arriving at the U.S. Open. And they all came against players ranked among the top 31 in the world -- most notably Stan Wawrinka. Dimitrov wound up losing in three sets in the semifinals there to 2014 U.S. Open champ Marin Cilic.Now the 22nd-seeded Dimitrov is in the round of 16 at a major for the first time since the 2015 Australian Open. As it happens, he lost to Murray then, and the two meet again Monday at that stage of the U.S. Open.As it also happens, Dimitrov recently joined up with coach Dani Vallverdu, who used to work with Murray.Once nicknamed Baby Fed for his games resemblance to that of Roger Federer, Dimitrov has acknowledged that he slogged through a stretch when he wasnt liking the sport too much.Not anymore.I fell in love with tennis again. Its simple as that, Dimitrov said. Its not only because Ive been winning matches or anything like that. Its because I started to enjoy the process again.Im enjoying the work again. Im enjoying waking up in the morning early to come to practice. Im enjoying doing the ice baths again.Dimitrov has yet to face a seeded player here and now meets an opponent who has won 36 of his last 38 matches. Murray has also won his last 26 meetings with players ranked outside the top 20. As it happens, the last such opponent to defeat him was Dimitrov. That came in Miami in March before Murray found his current form in winning his second Wimbledon title and second Olympic gold medal.He had some shaky moments Saturday, though, splitting the first two sets against Paolo Lorenzi -- who was playing in the third round at a major for the first time and coming off a five-hour match.Ill need to play better than today if I want to win that, Murray said afterr that four-set victory about his upcoming meeting with Dimitrov.dddddddddddd.Other matches to watch on Day 8 of the U.S. Open:WILLIAMS WATCHING: The Williams sisters play back-to-back in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday afternoon. Venus is up first, facing 10th-seeded Karolina Pliskova, who is in the round of 16 at a major for the first time. For Venus, its the 45th time.Then Serena meets 52nd-ranked Yaroslava Shvedova. The last time she lost to a player outside the top 50 at a Grand Slam was to No. 111 Virginie Razzano at the 2012 French Open, after which she started working with coach Patrick Mouratoglo. Shes won nine of the 17 majors since.COPYING CONNORS: A quarter-century after 39-year-old Jimmy Connors rode raucous crowds to an improbable U.S. Open semifinal appearance, perhaps its only appropriate that Juan Martin del Potro could become the lowest-ranked quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows since then.The 142nd-ranked del Potro has been willed along by fans in New York who fondly remember his 2009 title and respect his comeback from three left wrist surgeries. Hes yet to play any marathon matches, though, with three straight-set wins.He takes on eighth-seeded Dominic Thiem, who turned 23 on Saturday and is grappling with the wear and tear of a long season.Speaking of Connors, 37-year-old Ivo Karlovic is the oldest man to make the round of 16 at a major since that magical 1991 run. He meets sixth-seeded Kei Nishikori. Third-seeded Stan Wawrinka, who saved a match point in a five-set win Saturday, faces Illya Marchenko, whos in his first Grand Slam round of 16.CRYING GAME: When Croatian teen Ana Konjuh played Agnieszka Radwanska in the second round at Wimbledon, she had three match points -- and many more tears. Konjuh accidentally stepped on a ball and injured her right ankle in the next-to-last game of the 2-6, 6-4, 9-7 loss. Now they meet in the round of 16 under the lights at Ashe, where the fourth-seeded Radwanska will be seeking her first U.S. Open quarterfinal. The 92nd-ranked Konjuh is already on her deepest run at a major.Fifth-seeded Simona Halep faces No. 11 Carla Suarez Navarro in the other womens match. ' ' '
