 CNN/SI - SI for Women - SI for Women's U.S. Open notebook: Standing by Seles - Thursday September 09, 1999 09:08 AM
Arias refuses to comment on the reason he left four years ago but says, "In 1995, although I felt like maybe I was more than a hitting partner, Dad was certainly coach.
She asked Arias, who reached a career high of No. 5 in the world in 1983 and was in the top 100 for 12 years, to work with her prior to the Australian Open and again for a couple of weeks leading up to this tournament.
Arias estimates Seles is at 75% of where she needs to be in terms of her fitness, which against Serena Williams, one of the more fleet players on tour and her quarterfinal opponent Wednesday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium, seemingly spells disaster.

 The Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame
Grand Island's Jimmy Arias, a tennis prodigy in his youth, evolved into perhaps the rarest of all athletic phenomena; a child star who, instead of "achieving" burnout by his teens, developed into the type of player his early talent predicted.
Jimmy's father, Antonio, realized that his son's career had reached a cross-road, and that that career could progress only if Jimmy left Buffalo in search of world-class competition.
Throughout his career, Jimmy was sustained by a mental toughness often noted by contemporaries, the same discipline which allowed him to maintain perspective as a child star in the midst of adulation.

I saw Arias again last week, losing to Jaime Fillol in the first round of the Washington Star International Championship in Washington D.C. The 15-year-old is a lot taller now, but his arms are still thin, his torso unmuscled.
Arias lost the tight three-setter to the crafty Chilean because he was unable to maintain the brilliant level of play that repeatedly brought the crowd to its feet and a puzzled frown to Fillol's face.
Well, when Jimmy Arias was nine and 10 we knew he was good, the class of his crop of little monsters, but he was still just that, a little monster.

But it's clear that something was amiss, as Federer chose to pull off the move right after he took his most shocking loss in nearly four years when he was beaten in straight sets by journeyman Filippo Volandri in Rome.
Arias says that Federer's favorite play — slicing his backhand low crosscourt and either baiting his foe to the net and passing him, or catching him in no-man's land after a mediocre reply when he retreats to the back court — doesn't work against the Spaniard.
Arias believes the savvy yet stubborn Swiss can turn things around, but he's going to have to become a committed student and research his rivalries.
