Thomaz bellucci

Thomaz Cocchiarali Bellucci (born December 30, 1987 in Tietê), a professional tennis player, is the top ranked Brazilian tennis player. He achieved a career high ranking of #21 on July 26, 2010. He lacks outright power to produce a lot of aces, but he has excellent spin on his serve, allowing him to force his opponents off of the court which leads to him taking the offensive at the beginning of the point. His two-handed backhand is much more compact than his forehand, and is flatter, which allows him to take balls earlier on his backhand wing and drive the ball for winners.
Bellucci had little success in his next few tournaments, but in February he got back on track, beating #145 Pablo Andújar while qualifying into an ATP stop in Buenos Aires and then recording his first-ever ATP match win, over #83 Werner Eschauer, before bowing out in the next round to #25 Juan Ignacio Chela. Two weeks later, he ran his singles streak to 10 matches while winning a major Challenger in Tunis, beating #155 Andreas Beck, #363 Martin Verkerk, #136 Paul Capdeville, #113 Nicolás Massú, and #175 Dušan Vemić, and also won the doubles title. Those wins got him into the top 100 for the first time at #100. The following week, at a minor Challenger in Rabat, Morocco, he ran his streak to 15 matches while beating #136 Capdeville again, #96 Guillermo García López, and #119 Martín Vassallo Argüello to win the title and get his ranking to #81.


At the third round, he produced a cool-headed performance to defeat World Number 4 Andy Murray 6–4, 6–2 to claim his first top 5 win. The following day in the quarterfinals, he backed up his win by producing a brutal display to dismiss World Number 7 Tomáš Berdych 7–6, 6–3 (for the first time in three meetings and notably avenging the loss at Indian Wells) to reach the semifinals of a ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament for the first time in his career, and also produce back-to-back wins over top 10 opponents for the first time in his career. The Brazilian controlled the match at the beginning, taking the first set 6–4 and going up a break for a 3–1 lead in the second set, but the Serbian fought back and eventually won 4–6, 6–4, 6–1, extending his winning streak in 2011 to 31 matches, and eventually winning the tournament by ending Nadal's 37-match clay winning streak. Bellucci's semifinal effort in Madrid marked eight years since a Brazilian reached a semifinal stage in a Masters Series event, the last being former World No.


he would win his first title at the Swiss Open in Gstaad after reaching the main draw through qualification and going on to beat local hope and former world #9 Stanislas Wawrinka, former world #4 Nicolas Kiefer, two-time Swiss Open runner-up Igor Andreev, and first-time finalist Andreas Beck in straight sets. Ranked #119 in the world at the time of his victory in Switzerland, Bellucci jumped 53 spots in the ATP World Tour rankings to #66 as a result.
In October, Bellucci reached his first hard-court ATP World Tour semifinal. on 2010 Movistar Open, at Chile, Bellucci defeated defending champion Fernando González in the semifinals and Juan Mónaco in the final match to capture his second tour title. In the 2010 Brasil Open He lost to comaptriot Ricardo Mello in the Quarterfinals. He then played in 2010 Abierto Mexicano Telcel losing in the second round to eventual champion David Ferrer 6–4, 6–1. In the 2010 BNP Paribas Open after receiving a bye in the first round and a walkover in the second round he lost to Guillermo García López 4–6, 6–2, 6–1. In the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open he upset James Blake in the second round and then won over Olivier Rochus but lost in a hard match to a Spaniard for the third straight time this time to Nicolás Almagro losing 6–4, 3–6, 7–6 in the Fourth Round.
