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]

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][9]

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.[10] He qualified for the main draw at the 2024 Japan Open Tennis Championships but lost in the first round to Jack Draper.[11]

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.[12]
