The "hot dog" shot is one where a player chases back to retrieve a lob and then hits the ball between his legs with his back to the net.
Obviously Federer is very good at this, as he is with all the tennis shots - in the book and those that he will be adding to it. He also has the perfect sense of when to play it - to get to match point is absolutely the best time - it stuns you so much that playing the last point is just a formality.
So what does one do now?? 2 choices - either you don't play the lob against Federer or you put so much top spin in it that it races away after pitching. Then maybe Fedex will come up with a "hot dog volley". Till then, please watch and enjoy!!!
