First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20 000 people to still be here, I wasn’t the winner, tennis was. That’s awesome. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so good here before.

Agassi frames the moment as a victory for the sport rather than for himself, shifting attention from individual achievement to the shared experience created by players and spectators. By emphasizing the late hour and the unusually large crowd still present, he highlights the endurance and devotion of the fans and the special atmosphere of a match that has become an event in its own right. The remark also conveys gratitude and a sense of belonging—“here” suggests a venue with personal meaning—while the admission that he has rarely “felt so good” underscores how crowd energy can transform pressure into exhilaration.
