Tennis career
2009
Veić received a wild card for Zagreb Indoors and caused an upset[1] as he beat ex-Top 10 player Guillermo Cañas 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Betfair started a private investigation immediately after the match[2] following bets in total amount of $2M being placed on the Croat despite him being considered a huge underdog before the match.[3] He issued a brief statement calling the allegations 'ridiculous and unfounded'.[4] Veić continued his successful run following a 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 victory over Evgeny Korolev.[5] It came to an end after he lost to fellow Croat Marin Čilić 6-2, 7-6(6).[6]
2010
Veic qualified for the 2009 Australian Open Men's Singles draw, where he beat Daniel Köllerer of Austria 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(3), 6-1, 6-4. He fell to Gaël Monfils 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
