Most racquet sports are plagued by crazy focus on serves. As the level of play rises it seems more and more points depend on it and more time is put into perfecting using and defending. Of course it's still fun but maybe not as much fun as the actual game is, to play and watch.

Will a sufficiently large tournament use some other randomization method via a robot or machine which launches the ball into play in a way designed to free players from focus on serves?

To qualify:

Tournament must have at least equivalent to a 100k usd purse inflation adjusted.

A tournament or subsection of one, which itself satisfies all criteria, may qualify.

At least 16 teams or players if singles

Sports: ping pong, badminton, tennis, pickleball

The randomizer need not be outcome-equalized. The randomizer has to be used throughout basically the entire thing. Barring perhaps one hunan serve per match for tie break etc

Other ways to reduce serve importance don't count. It's got to involve a machine or device.

Solutions like this for tennis would count: the machine randomly throws a ball at the server. The server must volley it; that is now considered the serve. It's also possible that it's randomly thrown at the serve receiver.

Randomizer does not have to have any specific distribution rules. It can even be unequal.

Randomization of whose right it is to serve, or how many faults are allowed, eg by dice or guessing, doesn't count. Nor would things like changing or reducing point values for serves, or requiring 3 volleys before a point counts or similar.

This doesn't need to be mainstream or standard. An exhibition of enough size would count.
