Pass, hit, serve, roll to them. Make them move and tire out every chance you get. If you make them pass it, they almost always have to hit it. If they are hitting every play of them game, they will get tired. The other partner who is only setting will also get frustrated because he/she isn't hitting. To me it is a win-win situation. Show no mercy, play by the rules, the written rules, meaning nets, blocks and on and on.
To sum it up, serve whoever, it is a tournament.

But is it fair to actually target a player for 30 points? Is it fair that a AA/Open indoor player serves as hard as indoors and on a lower net at a target that is sore from the last nine serves?
Win, but not at all costs, sometimes, your sole is on the line and we have to keep a level of piece while living with ourselves. The prize of winning is not worth it if I made someone bleeds or is crying because I spiked the ball at her face and broke her nose (which did not happen). I'm skilled enough to play a good smart game.
Just my thoughts,
