Hi Swaraj,
This will depend on the situation of the match up to that point often. However I think you should play each point focusing on the tactics that are winning you points. If the score is 9 all your opponent still doesn't want to receive that serve that has been troubling them for the whole game. Play each point with the best tactics you have.
