Tournament officials were concerned about American tennis star Jennifer Capriati's music selection as she walked on the court before her fourth round match at the WTA Masters Series event. Capriati entered to the tune of B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad) — a rap number by OutKast released in 2000.
Stadium court producer Bob Ruf was originally leery about playing the song but felt one minute of the music probably wouldn't offend the audience. The tournament received no complaints about the song being played.
Capriati told a WTA spokesman that she picked the music because "I like it and I want to support the troops." The song's lyrics feature the lines, "Don't pull the thang out, unless you plan to bang, Bombs over Baghdad!, Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something, Bombs over Baghdad!"
