Fabrice Vetea Santoro (born 9 December 1972) is a retired French tennis player from Tahiti.
Though not counted among the top-ranked players, he had an unusually long professional career, with many of his accomplishments coming toward the end of his career, and he is popular among spectators and other players alike for his winning demeanor and shot-making abilities. Owing to his longevity on the tour and consistent ranking, Santoro holds several ATP records: the most career wins over top ten opponents for a player who never reached the top ten (40), and the most losses in singles play (444, though he won even more matches).
He also has the second-most appearances in singles competition at Grand Slam events behind Roger Federer (70). In singles play, Santoro earned six titles, but reached the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam only once.
His career-high ranking of world No.
17 belied his impressive record against top ten opposition. He had greater success in doubles competition, with two Grand Slam doubles titles, one mixed doubles title, and 25 doubles championships overall to his name. Since March 2019, Santoro is the coach of Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic.
