i didn't see any threads about this yesterday. What do you guys think about her using this song as her "theme music". and since when do tennis players have "theme music"?

Capriati Requests 'Bombs Over Baghdad'
Associated Press

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - At Jennifer Capriati's request, the 1999 Outkast song "Bombs Over Baghdad" was played on the stadium public-address system before her most recent match at the Nasdaq-100 Open.

"I like the song, and I wanted to support the troops," Capriati said Tuesday through WTA Tour spokesman.

Stadium court producer Bob Ruf said he previewed the rap song and was reluctant to play it. Ruf then listened to the song with a tour official, and they found a one-minute segment that they decided wouldn't offend anyone.

The chorus to the song goes: "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."

A Nasdaq official said the tournament received no complaints about the song. Capriati beat fellow American Sarah Taylor in the match Monday, 6-1, 6-0.

Andy Roddick requested the Bruce Springsteen hit "Born in the USA" for one of his matches earlier in the tournament.
 
In college we use to have music play when a pitching change happened. They'd play whatever music the relief pitcher who was coming in wanted while he was warming up. Since it was Texas, most of the guys had Country and Western.
 
Thinking....
"What would be the right theme song for Anna Pornakova?"

no..i guess that wouldn't really be HER theme...
 
And soon they'll start wacking each other with tennis rackets and body slamming each other before a pin-fall in the "sqared-circle"

US open goes WWF.

She also said what happened to the Dixie Chicks kinda freaked her out.
 
Those arms are why she hits a ball 120mph. I would be scared to play tennis with her.
 
everytime the home baseball team bats, they play theme music for each player, their request, so why not other athletes?
