Playing career
Imaz made his debut on the ATP Tour at the 1995 Austrian Open. He lost to Sergi Bruguera in the second round, having earlier beaten Christian Miniussi.
His most noteworthy performance came in the 1998 French Open, the only Grand Slam of his career. The Spaniard had a five set opening round win over Jean-Baptiste Perlant. He then lost in straight sets to eventual champion Carlos Moyá, but would come close to winning the second set tiebreak, which lasted for 30 points.
Coaching career
Imaz's tennis school is based at Marbella's Puente Romano resort. The school preaches a philosophy of Amor Y Paz (Love and Peace) as the overriding factors when coaching tennis, in which he uses meditation and the power of lengthy hugs. In 2013, then professional tennis player Marko Djokovic used Imaz's methodologies to cure himself of depression. In 2016, post-Novak Djokovic's win at the French Open, Imaz became part of Novak's support team from Wimbledon onwards, through the US Open and the Masters Tennis series.
