Previously, only two athletes had achieved such a feat: Ons Jabeur and Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Jabeur beat Szwiatek 6-3, 6-3 at the 2021 Cincinnati tournament after fighting off three break points.
Kuznetsova defeated Swiatek 6:2, 6:2 at the Doha 2020 tournament, fending off two break points.
In the next match in Miami, Alexandrova will meet American tennis player Jessica Pegula, ranked fifth in the world rankings.
