Ranked No. 303 at the 2022 Mallorca Championships Bellier recorded his second ATP win over Federico Delbonis as a qualifier.[1] He went one step further to defeat fourth seed Pablo Carreno Busta and reach his first ATP quarterfinal.[2][3] He defeated Tallon Griekspoor to reach his first ATP semifinal in his career. He became the lowest ranked semi-finalist since No. 335 Juan Manuel Cerundolo in 2021 in Cordoba.[4] As a result, he moved almost 90 positions up to World No. 217 in the rankings on 27 June 2022.

He made his debut in the top 200 in the rankings on 25 July 2022 after a second round showing at the Pozoblanco Challenger where he defeated top seed Nuno Borges.
