Hi,
One thing you can think about is that you don't need to attack when the ball is heavy or fast. If he is just blocking then you can wait till you get a better opportunity to play a stronger stroke.
The other thing to think about is the positioning of your first attack. Think about playing it to a more difficult position for him. If he slaps the ball better with his forehand then play to the backhand. Also think about playing to his middle are to cramp him up.
