Personally, I think Women's tennis is lame because I love to watch Men's tennis. Women's Tennis is so much slower, less tactical, and filled with way more unforced errors, that by comparison, it is unwatchable.

Well, there is that technical side to it too. I agree with you, although there are some matches I could watch.
Well, I don't know, maybe I'm just the only one who feels like this, but it seems like in the WTA, it's "easy" to become #1. I mean it's not easy, but in comparison to ATP, it looks like a piece of cake. Wozniacki crashed out the other day, and suddenly 4, 5 of them could become the next #1. In men's tennis, you need to do a lot more (and more consistently) to become #1. I mean, look at what Djokovic had to do to overtake Nadal last year. Or what Nadal had to do to overtake Federer.
While the rest of the top 10 can upset the big 4 (or 3, does Murray count?), it's highly unlikely they can win a GS. In the WTA, you never know with any certainty who'll win. #1 can either win or crash out in the 2nd round.
I don't know if I'm making any sense but I do feel like women's tennis is on a real low.
