The 33-year-old Canadian won against Mexican wildcard Jessica Hinojosa Gomez (6-1, 6-0) and Argentinian Maria Lourdes Carle, the No 3 seed (7-6 (5), 6-4) ahead of her win today.
Earlier in the week, Joint, ranked No 110, won against French wildcard Elsa Jacquemot (6-3, 6-4) and American Hanna Chang (6-1, 6-2).
