## Tennis career

### 2009

Veić received a wild card for Zagreb Indoors and caused an upset 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. Veić issued a brief statement calling the allegations 'ridiculous and unfounded'. Veić continued his successful run following a 3–6, 7–6, 6–4 victory over Evgeny Korolev. It came to an end after he lost to fellow Croat Marin Čilić 6–2, 7–6.

### 2010

Veic qualified for the 2010 Australian Open Men's Singles draw, where he beat Daniel Köllerer of Austria 6–4, 3–6, 6–7, 6–1, 6–4. He fell to Gaël Monfils 6–4, 6–4, 6–4.
