Bellucci won two ATP Challenger singles titles at the 2022 Saint-Tropez Open and at the 2022 Vilnius Open both in October 2022. He became the second Italian NextGen ATP player to lift multiple trophies in the season (after Luca Nardi with three) and the youngest from his nation to win Challenger titles in back-to-back weeks since 19-year-old Stefano Pescosolido in 1991. As a result, he rose to a career-high world No. 156 in the singles rankings.[2]

Bellucci won the ATP Challenger doubles title at the 2024 Tennis Challenger Hamburg with Rémy Bertola. Ranked No. 173, he made his debut at the 2024 French Open after qualifying for the main draw. Ranked No. 150, he made his debut at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships after also qualifying for the main draw.

He qualified for the main draw and reached his first ATP quarterfinal at the 2024 Atlanta Open defeating second seed Adrian Mannarino.[5] Ranked No. 125, he also qualified for the Citi DC Open in Washington, defeating Tristan Boyer and Leandro Riedi. He recorded a first-round win in the main draw at the ATP 500 level over Mackenzie McDonald.[6] In August, he reached the Challenger final after qualifying at the 2024 Cary Tennis Classic but lost to Roman Safiullin, missing two match points and the opportunity for a Top 100 debut.[7][8] Ranked No. 102 he also qualified on his debut for the main draw of the US Open and recorded his first Grand Slam win over wildcard Stan Wawrinka.[9] He qualified for the main draw at the 2024 Japan Open Tennis Championships but lost in the first round to Jack Draper.[10]

He made his debut at the 2024 Rolex Shanghai Masters after qualifying for the main draw and defeated lucky loser Billy Harris, his first win at this level, before losing to second seed Alexander Zverev.[11]

He finished the season ranked world No. 100 on 18 November 2024.[12]

2025: First top 10 win and ATP semifinal, top 70

[edit]

At the 2025 ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam, Belucci upset second seed Daniil Medvedev recording his first top 10 win, as a qualifier, and reached his first ATP 500 quarterfinal.[13] Next he upset another seed, Stefanos Tsitsipas seeded sixth, to reach his first ATP Tour semifinal and also first at the 500-level. As a result he moved to a new career-high into the top 70 in the ATP singles rankings on 10 February 2025.[14]
