Korda sisters make history at Solheim Cup

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.”
