Social Media: Ludwig and Walkenhorst together

Okay, it’s just a simple photo of German stars Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst together in a volleyball court. You’ve certainly seen it plenty of times, especially in the last two years, but there’s clearly something special on this one, don’t you think? A third player in the court, maybe? Good to see you together, ladies!
