Catherine Cartan "CiCi" Bellis (born April 8, 1999) is an American tennis player.
Bellis has won one singles title on the WTA tour and six singles and two doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On November 28, 2016, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 75. On September 12, 2016, she peaked at world number 243 in the doubles rankings.
Bellis was ranked the number one junior tennis player in the world in September 2014, and was declared 2014 ITF Junior World Champion.
In August 2014, Bellis won the USTA Girls 18's National Championship, defeating Tornado Alicia Black in the final in straight sets. With this victory, she became the youngest winner of the event (at 15 years, 4 months) since Lindsay Davenport in 1991, and also earned a wild card into the main draw of the 2014 US Open.
Bellis's 2014 ITF junior season was highlighted by winning the Grade A Trofeo Bonfiglio and the Grade B1 Easter Bowl tournaments, victories that helped propel her to the number one ranking in the girls' juniors in September. She finished the year ranked No. 1 and was named the 2014 ITF Junior World Champion.
In the first round of the 2014 US Open, Bellis, ranked 1208 and playing in only her 13th professional match, upset the 12th seed Dominika Cibulková, the runner-up at the Australian Open earlier in the year, to become the youngest player to win a match at the US Open since Anna Kournikova won at age 15 in 1996. She was the youngest American to win a match at the US Open since Mary Joe Fernández in 1986, the youngest woman in the main draw of a Grand Slam since Alizé Cornet at the 2005 French Open, and the youngest in the main draw of the US Open since 2004. Bellis was unable to win her next match, losing in three sets to 20 year old Zarina Diyas in round two.
