French Open was the center of his Grand Slam career

All 15 Grand Slam appearances included the French Open, and 11 of his 26 matches came there. His best result was reached there three times at R32 and twice at R64, while his only non-French Open results were at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.

His peak came early, then settled into a long plateau

Arrese reached R32 at the French Open in 1985 at age 20 and again in 1987 at 22, then repeated that level in 1990 at 25 and 1993 at 28. After 1993, his final three French Open appearances all ended in R64 or R128.

1990 was his busiest Grand Slam season

He played three majors in 1990: Australian Open R64, French Open R32, and US Open R128. That was his only season with three Grand Slam entries, and it produced one of his two career R32 finishes outside the opening years.

His results were heavily concentrated in the first two rounds

Across 15 tournaments, his best finishes were 4 x R32, 3 x R64, and 8 x R128, with no deeper run recorded. That distribution matches his 11-15 Grand Slam record and 42% win rate.

He was a late-career presence at Roland Garros

His last three Grand Slam results were all French Open losses: R128 in 1994 at age 29, R128 in 1995 at 30, and R128 in 1996 at 31. Those three straight first-round exits closed a career that began there 11 years earlier.
