Antonio Veić (born 18 February 1988) is a Croatian former professional tennis player and a coach. His highest singles ranking is 119, which was reached on 14 May 2012.
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 an internal investigation after Cañas had been "trading as a rank outsider" although Veić was considered an underdog before the match.[2] Veić issued a brief statement calling the allegations 'ridiculous and unfounded'.[3] Veić continued his successful run following a 3–6, 7–6, 6–4 victory over Evgeny Korolev.[4] It came to an end after he lost to fellow Croat Marin Čilić 6–2, 7–6.[5]
