Yzaga played on the professional tour from 1984 to 1996.

Yzaga reached career-high rankings of World No. 18 in singles and World No. 54 in doubles (both in 1989). He was a quarter-finalist at the Australian Open in 1991, and at the US Open in 1994, reaching the final eight by defeating a dominant Pete Sampras in 5 sets, in the previous round.
