Djokovic is playing the Boodles Challenge (an exhibition) and Ferrer is playing the ATP 250 event in s-Hertogenbosch.
Don't know about Nadal, he was going to play Halle but withdrew.
Thanks RJA, I'd love to know how Rafa's prepping..
After watching his match today maybe he didn't prepare....I feel guilty saying that as to be honest going from Clay to Grass that quickly must be very tough and I felt for Nadal....he needed a break....just too quick....I wish there was at least another week between the two tournaments.

From 2015 there will be another week between them.
However I don't think another week would have made any difference for Nadal. From what we saw and from what he said it seems pretty clear that his knees just can stand up to the strain of a low bouncing court, he may well be done as a serious force on grass.
I suspect that low bouncing hard courts will be a problem for him but ones with higher bounce won't be. I would imagine that Nadal will now limit himself to just a small number of tournaments off clay each year, probably just the 3 Slams, 3 or 4 Masters Series and the WTF.
