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.

A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
