NEW YORK (Reuters) - The centre court at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the main venue for the U.S. Open, and the adjacent Louis Armstrong arena are to have retractable roofs installed, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) said on Thursday.

The move will bring the U.S. Open into line with Wimbledon and the Australian Open which both have retractable roofs on their centre courts. The French Open has announced plans to cover its main court.
