Does anyone use SABR (Sneak Attack By Roger) while returning serves? How often? Is it only on second serves? Most likely depends on the server?? What's your success rate? How did you improve or decide to stop using it? For me it works 1 out 2 against traditional players because they don't know what to do when they see someone picking up the ball half-volley while trying to recover from serving. The hack types don't get flustered with it and somehow manage to nullify the SABR advantage by lob or other traditional/non traditional shots. In summary SABR works (for me) if the opponent is a traditional/regular player and the serve is not too hot.
