The correct way to see the SQL that a report will execute is to use the Validate action set to information level or key-transformations.
Showing SQL as you noted, may be a good clue, but does not convey the query which is planned based on the data containers (layouts) that define how a result is to be "shaped".
Further, the key-transformations option will show you where query re-use may be applied or not etc.
