Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys send their love to fellow American pro as she opens up about 'scary' egg freezing process with help of WTA's fund program

During a recent episode of “The Players Box” podcast, Desirae Krawczyk opened up about her decision to preserve her eggs. Speaking with Jessica Pegula and the rest of the panel, Krawczyk shared what the process has been like and expressed gratitude to the WTA for supporting her.

“I'm doing my egg freezing these next couple weeks and I'm a little nervous,” Krawczyk said. “It's 10 days worth of shots. Yesterday I did my trigger shot so then I'll have to wait a week to see how my body's reacting to that and then I'll start doing a 10-day shot series and do my egg retrieval which I think is about a 15-minute procedure so it's not long.”

She went on to praise the WTA for introducing the funding program, explaining how helpful it has been for players who need to take time off during the off-season.

“The WTA, they came out with the funding which is great because obviously with playing you have to take off time and off-season is not that long so a lot of players are doing the egg freezing and it's amazing that WTA has that funding.”

After the episode was released, Krawczyk’s co-hosts congratulated her both during the recording and later in the comments section of the podcast’s Instagram reel. Fans also joined Jessica Pegula and co., flooding the post with messages of encouragement and love.

Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys express being jealous of fellow WTA Finals competitor

Elena Rybakina made history with an undefeated run at the 2025 WTA Finals in Riyadh, taking home an incredible $5.2 million paycheck.

During an episode of “The Players Box,” fellow players Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys admitted they were jealous of Rybakina’s massive earnings.

“She went undefeated. She won undefeated and she wins $5.2 million,” Pegula said.

"We're jealous" Keys chimed in.

Rybakina had already taken down Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek earlier in the tournament. She was scheduled to play Madison Keys in her final group match. But after Keys suffered an injury, Ekaterina Alexandrova stepped in as a replacement.

Topping the Serena Williams Group, Rybakina advanced to the semifinals to face Pegula, who had finished second in the Stefanie Graf Group. After dropping the first set, Rybakina came back to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

In the final, she defeated #1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 7-6 (0) to cap off her perfect run, lifting the year-end trophy and securing the biggest payouts in WTA history.
