Novak was deported from Australia.
The top men's tennis player was deported after losing a visa battle because he is unvaccinated.
The supporters waved the national flag and chanted "we love Novak" at the airport.
One supporter said it was a shame what they did to Novak. This is a shame.
He said no-one should be forced to do something because he was sentenced for his freedom of choice.
The player's visa troubles overshadowed the start of the Australian Open tournament.
His hopes of winning a record 21st Grand Slam title were ended when he was deported.

Questions have been raised over the Serbian's participation in the French Open, the next Grand Slam tournament on this year's calendar.
France's parliament has just given its final approval to a law requiring people over the age of 16 to have a certificate of vaccine to enter public places.
France's sports ministry said on Monday that it would not grant exemptions to its latest rules on vaccine passes, which it noted apply to professional players as well as spectators.
The situation might change before the event in May.
The Immigration Minister canceled the visa of the tennis player on public health grounds.
The decision marked the end of a tumultuous period where the Serb fought to stay and defend his title.
He was granted a medical exemption to enter Australia by two different independent health panels after testing positive for coronaviruses in December.
