The two 19-year-olds were nearly out of the opening game as they faced five game points against Scotland’s Julie Macpherson/Ciara Torrance, but a spirited spell helped them grab the advantage. They got more confident as the match progressed, and sealed their place in the semifinals, 22-20 21-19.
“It’s like a dream. We were nervous in the opening game and we were so excited to play that we were doing too much to win, and then we got calm. When we were game points down we decided to take it one point at a time and see how far we can go. Once we won that game we continued to play in the same way,” said Busch.
“It’s a huge thing to play in the semifinals, we haven’t experienced anything like this. It will be fun, so hopefully we can play a good match,” said Schulz.
