For Felgate, their is understandable excitement at still being involved in the tournament with his new charge.
Malisse started the Open by behaving so badly on court that Felgate gave the youngster a dressing down.
The words he used to prepare Malisse for the Henman match were just as effective and he said: "I told Malisse that Tim did not like serving first and I also told him to use the lob a lot.
"Even if it did not work all the time it would make him uncertain about coming to the net .
"But I have to admit at the end I was first delighted for Malisse, of course, but then I did spare a thought for Tim. I'd still be the first to want him to win a Grand Slam."
On the evidence of this tournament, that first Slam will only be recorded at Wimbledon because Henman cannot reproduce the kind of consistent form needed over two weeks without the backing of a fiercely patriotic British crowd.
Rusedski is a different proposition having reached the US Open final in 1997 and still possessing a great serve.
How that will help Britain in their Davis Cup tie on clay is debatable given his previous problems with the Ecuador team. Rusedski is very upbeat about Britain's chances of winning in Ecuador and said: "I want to get my revenge against Ecuador and it was embarrassing for us to lose to them on grass at Wimbledon last year.
"This is one of the most important Cup ties for Britain in years."
Fourth seed Lleyton Hewitt, who avoided a fine for his outburst against a linesman when it appeared he made a racist comment, has a quarter final against 16th seed Tommy Haas. Goran Ivanisevic is no longer in the tournament-after a straight sets defeat by an inspired Costa but the big Croat is determined to battle back once his shoulder has been sorted out by a surgeon at the end of the year. He will miss the Australian Open but insists he will defend the Wimbledon crown.
Also joining Henman and Rusedski on flights home are fellow seeds Juan Carlos Ferrero (5), Alex Corretja (11) and Carlos Moya (17).
Martina Hingis, the top seed, made short work of 14th seed Jelena Dokic 6-4, 6-0 to prove that a counter puncher can survive against the big hitters and she is on course to face either Lindsay Davenport or Serena Willimas in the semi-finals.
Davenport and Williams, who have both won the Open, moved into an intriguing quarter-final clash of the big hitters but seventh seed Monica Seles lost to Daja Bedanova, a player she helped get into the big time. Bedanova now faces Hingis.
Serena and Venus Williams, ninth seeds, were knocked out of the women's doubles by unseeded Chandra Rubin and Els Callens.
