Yes, that's roofs, plural. The French Tennis Federation determined the architect for roof over Phillipe Chatrier, aka Centre Court. The roof will be in place by 2011.
Wimbledon, as you know, has their sparkling invention in place and it will be unveiled this weekend officially with a charity match. BBC has video here and here. While I'm still skeptical it will move the tournament along at the pace they want, the key (obviously) is the the gem matches will not be delayed and won't disrupt television schedules, etc.
This leaves the U.S Open as the only Grand Slam event without a lid on it. Given the loud, rowdy crowds at the Open and it's assorted ubiquitous qualities (night play, flight patterns into LaGuardia airport, etc.) I'm quite fine with that. Let it be.
