A tournament of the indomitable: 3rd round

The official asterix.com website

This is it: the Grand Slam!
After the clay courts of Roland-Garros, where our heroes and their favourite enemies clashed mercilessly in the first two rounds, the tour has now been transported to the home of the Britons (Great Britain, that is) so that the third round, which begins today, can take place on the grass courts of Wimbledon, my dear!
Now things are getting serious!

Expect some bloody battles, because while Asterix and Obelix look to be strong seeds, certain other stars could easily find themselves in trouble…
Timandahaf was once the victim of a judge's error and, in fact, was all too willing to "explain" this to the judge himself when they met in the changing rooms…
So, be sure to support all your favourite characters on the English grass.

Tournament of the indomitable

The official asterix.com website

Just when the Roland-Garros tournament is wrapping up, we are extending the pleasure for awhile with our tournament of the indomitables, which enjoyed traffic on Circus Maximus that rivaled the traffic on centre court. We have only finished our first round. We are inviting you to decide who deserves to continue the adventure in the second round, which is already becoming tense. Some emblematic figures will inevitably disappear, and tears will be shed in the dust of the Circus.
Your turn to play - sensitive souls please abstain!
