35 CiCi Bellis hopes to return to competitive action before the end of the year.The 20-year-old American has not played since Miami in March 2018, but she has her sights set on competing at the Oracle Challenger Series 125K tournament in Houston, Nov. 10-17.“Everything’s going really well,” Bellis said.
35 two weeks after reaching the semi-finals of the 2017 Bank of the West Classic at Stanford, a five-minute drive from her hometown of Atherton. She made it to the Round of 16 and was granted a wild card for the Australian Open.Bellis still isn't even quite sure what the final diagnosis was, but right now she doesn't care.
After four surgeries and more than 18 months off the court, former world No. Nov 10, 2019 . Her first-round 6-0, 6-2 win over Now 20, but having lived the trials and tribulations of a far-more seasoned veteran, Bellis is ranked No. She looks to make a significant rise in the post-tournament edition of the rankings. "Not to mention, heading home sooner rather than later wouldn't be all bad for the lifelong San Francisco 49ers fan. After four operations, Bellis eyes return by U.S. Open CiCi Bellis climbed to a career-high No. She’ll practice for two hours, break for lunch, then practice for another two hours before doing 90 minutes of fitness work on site.Bellis wraps up her day on campus with an hour of rehab work and then 30 minutes of recovery.“I didn’t start playing pain-free until about three months ago,” said Bellis, who began taking classes at Indiana East University last fall and has now earned enough credits as a business major to be considered a sophomore.
I would miss it so much if I wasn’t playing. That required a fourth surgery and another round of setbacks.“It was definitely really tough going into each [surgery] and thinking that I would have to do the rehab all over again, but at this point, I’m pretty positive because I’m getting closer to tournaments,” Bellis said. "I think a year ago at this time I didn't know if I was going to play again, so just being here is so special to me, let alone winning," she said. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Dust and rain caused havoc with the scheduled once more, but the singles third round line-ups are set. "It was such a dream because I didn’t think I was ever going to be able to get to that point, with still having the pain after the last surgery.“My rehab team that I have at USTA—with [athletic trainer] Laura [Paczesny], [director of athletic medicine] Ed [Ryan], [sports physical therapist] Kenny [Palmer], [strength and conditioning coach] Craig Acker, Trish Kellogg (nutritionist) and [head strength and conditioning coach] Satoshi Ochi—has been unbelievable. Plagued with wrist and elbow injuries, Bellis missed most of the 2018 and 2019 seasons as she underwent multiple surgeries and struggled to be without pain.It was two years of what almost felt like a never-ending cycle of devastating news, invasive procedures that made her so nervous she would become physically ill and tough recoveries. Bellis — who turned 21 this month — returned to the court in November, at the Oracle Challenger Series in Houston, and was granted a wild card for the Australian Open. Finally over the summer, after working incessantly with the USTA's medical staff, Bellis felt like she was moving in the right direction, save for a small pain in her arm.That small pain resulted in perhaps the worst news of all in October. “I’ve gotten to the point where I’m practicing normally, and obviously I’ve done a lot of rehab in the past year or more, and everything has really strengthened and looking pretty positive.“I love tennis so much, and it’s been my life for so long. A doctor told her she would never be able to play again and referenced Tommy John surgery, a procedure often used on baseball pitchers. They’ve been amazing.” I think getting back on the practice court after each surgery and still having pain and realizing that something was still wrong and that I have to go back for another surgery and do it all over again, I think that was probably the toughest part.“I had a lot of times where I didn’t know if it was ever going to feel right or if I was ever going to be able to play pain-free.
