Career

To qualify for the 1988 Wimbledon Championships, Moraing managed to defeat former quarter-finalist Vijay Amritraj in his final qualification match, which went for five sets, including two tiebreaks, before being won by West German 8–6 in the fifth.[1] He defeated British wildcard Mark Petchey in the first round of the main draw, but lost in the second round, to fellow qualifier Barry Moir, in four sets.[2] With his elder brother Peter as his partner, Moraing competed in the men's doubles as well.[2] The pair were eliminated in the opening round by Sergio Casal and Emilio Sánchez.[2]

He also took part in both the singles and doubles draws of the 1989 Australian Open.[2] In the singles he had a win in the opening round, over Thierry Tulasne, who retired in the third set with sickness, after losing the first two sets.[3] He was unable to progress past fourth seed Stefan Edberg in his next match, losing in straight sets.[2] The West German didn't do as well in the doubles, with he and partner Torben Theine losing in the first round.[2]

Outside of Grand Slams, Moraing had his best performance on tour at the 1988 German Open, where he beat the 42nd ranked player in the world Eric Jelen.[2] The previous year he was a semi-finalist at a Challenger event in Vancouver and made the doubles final at another Challenger tournament, in Bossonnens, partnering Alexander Mronz.[2]

Moraing is now a tennis coach and runs a tennis center with his brother in Mülheim.

gollark: Oh, and also stuff like this (https://archive.is/P6mcL) - there seem to be companies looking at using your information for credit scores and stuff.
gollark: But that is... absolutely not the case.
gollark: I mean, yes, if you already trust everyone to act sensibly and without doing bad stuff, then privacy doesn't matter for those reasons.
gollark: Oh, and as an extension to the third thing, if you already have some sort of vast surveillance apparatus, even if you trust the government of *now*, a worse government could come along and use it later for... totalitarian things.
gollark: For example:- the average person probably does *some* sort of illegal/shameful/bad/whatever stuff, and if some organization has information on that it can use it against people it wants to discredit (basically, information leads to power, so information asymmetry leads to power asymmetry). This can happen if you decide to be an activist or something much later, even- having lots of data on you means you can be manipulated more easily (see, partly, targeted advertising, except that actually seems to mostly be poorly targeted)- having a government be more effective at detecting minor crimes (which reduced privacy could allow for) might *not* actually be a good thing, as some crimes (drug use, I guess?) are kind of stupid and at least somewhat tolerable because they *can't* be entirely enforced practically
