Puncher
Low
Jimmy Arias was a dominant Puncher. He made on average 2.5 times more winners/forcing errors than his opponents with his forehand & backhand. He was effective in any kind of rallies with these shots: short, medium & long.
Tempo Player
Low
Jimmy Arias cannot be regarded as a Tempo Player because his game plan was to dominate his opponents with the quality of his topspin forehand & backhand. Tempo Players take the ball on the rise close to their baseline and play much flatter than him.
Offensive Player
