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]
