Do you think adjusting carbs is a good way to beat A plateau? I'm thinking I could do 50-75. It would be a challenge.

I've done sub 50g carbs for weeks on end. It does NOT damage your metabolism. I like to carb cycle. I'll do a few days of sub 100g carbs on days I am not lifting and go back to eating my normal diet on lifting days or even increase the carbs around heavy deadlift/squat sessions. Or if I want to drop some quick weight, I'll low carb for a few weeks straight.
You surely can play tennis on low carbs. Once your body adjusts, you won't notice a decrease in energy. People that do notice, are usually just mental midgets with an attachment to food. Change your mind...change your body.
