Yes, showed how the point was played between the two players but no Hawk-Eye outcome. Technical glitch or a shortcoming in the system when it's too close to call ? In that case, human discretion and subjectivity come into play, not a good thing, I feel, as it depends on the tournament referee (a different one each tournament) to make the final decision.
With nothing to lose, Sindhu can throw caution to the wind and play fearlessly without any burden, a psychological plus for her.
Sindhu is a very good player for sure. But she must have the ugliest form of any of the top 20 WS players. She looks extremely stiff and rigid.

I miss seeing Xu Chen these days. it is too bad. MaJin/XuChen would make a great spectacle especially playing against Tontowi/Lilyana in the final.
Plus a lot of unecessary movements. With her thin legs she sometimes looks like Bambi hopping around the court.
Credit to WYH for staying calm and focused throughout the match and for her court sense and thinking on her feet. Sindhu despite playing above herself still couldn't beat WYH. Great job, WYH.
My foot... Despite playing above herself???? Where are you ??? I know you are a huge of china so that you can talk whatever you can but clearly here visible, that sindhu played just 40% of what she played in world championships.
Imagine, if Liu Xin hadn't withdrawn last minute, wiould we get another all-CHN WS semifinals tomorrow ? I won't be surprised by it.
