Viktor Galović (pronounced as /hr/;[1] [2] born 19 September 1990) is a former Croatian tennis player. Galović has a career high ATP singles ranking of 173, achieved on 14 May 2018. Galović had previously represented Italy where he was raised but in 2014 switched back to his home country of Croatia.
Galović made his ATP main draw singles debut at the 2014 Bet-at-home Cup Kitzbühel where he qualified for the main draw, defeating Philipp Davydenko, Lukáš Dlouhý and Antonio Veić en route. In the main draw he lost to Albert Ramos Viñolas in three sets in the first round.
Galović had his grass debut in Stuttgart where he lost in the second round of qualifications to Denis Kudla. But he was lucky and he received an entry as a lucky loser. In the first round of the ATP tournament in Stuttgart he lost to Maximilian Marterer 6:3,4:6,1:6.
Galović retired in July 2021 due to continuous back and hip injuries.[3]
Galović had three team nominations for Croatia in the Davis Cup, playing two matches.[4] His debut was on 17 September 2017 in Bogotá, Colombia in the 2017 Davis Cup World Group play-offs. He defeated Alejandro González in a best of three sets, dead rubber (6–4, 2–6, 6–2).[5]
His second match was played in Osijek, Croatia in the First Round of 2018 Davis Cup World Group against Canada. He played against Denis Shapovalov on 2 February 2018 and lost 4–6, 4–6, 2–6.[6]
Galović was on the list of the Croatian players in the quarter-final of 2018 Davis Cup against Kazakhstan but was unused by captain Željko Krajan.[7]
