Jessica and Nelly Korda will become the first sisters to play together in the Solheim Cup when they tee off for the United States in Friday’s foursomes.

The Florida-born daughters of Czech tennis player Petr Korda – a former Australian Open winner – will face Caroline Masson and Jodi Ewart Shadoff in the third match of the morning.

“They asked me if they could play together and, at first, I wasn’t too keen because they are different personalities,” said USA Captain, Juli Inkster. “But then I thought that it wasn’t too often two sisters get the chance to do this.”
