The WGS86 projection "stretches" things along the horizontal compared to the 
Mercator projection.  

Incidentally, the Mercator projection stretches things along the horizontal the 
closer to the poles you get. 

IIRC the slippymaps all render using Mercator.

You aren't necessarily doing anything wrong.  Take a look at your
projection setting (in >>edit >> preferences) and see if you like
Mercator better.
