Bronte Law and Carlota Ciganda are looking forward to leading out Team Europe in the Friday foursomes at the Solheim Cup.

Bronte Law and Carlota Ciganda will lead Europe out in the opening match of the 16th Solheim Cup at Gleneagles.

European rookie Law will partner the experienced Spaniard in the first foursomes match at 8:10am, taking on Team USA's Morgan Pressel and Marina Alex, one of six debutants in Juli Inkster's side.

Inkster has also paired the Korda sisters together, the first time siblings will partner each other in Solheim Cup history, with Jessica and Nelly playing against Caroline Masson and Jodi Ewart Shadoff in the third match out.

However, Inkster admitted afterwards she had reservations about pairing the sisters together, only for them to convince the Team USA skipper otherwise.

Match two pits Lexi Thompson and Brittany Altomare against Georgia Hall and Celine Boutier, with home skipper Catriona Matthew opting against partnering Hall with English compatriot Charley Hull.

But Hull will anchor the first series of matches alongside Azahara Munoz against the rookie pairing of Megan Khang and Annie Park.
