Luke Milligan (ex ATP top 300), it was. I remember seeing Nigel Sears doing on-court coaching for her in the Australian WTAs last year too. (or was it the year before?)

Anne clarifies the situation in a recent Tennishead blog
"Ive been without a coach since September when I stopped working with Luke Milligan, although Nigel Sears (as head of Womens Tennis) has still had a strong influence on my game when hes been around but Ive been looking for someone to help me on the road this year. Ill be starting a trial period with Jeremy Bates after Memphis and I hope it works out for both of us. Hes someone Ive always got on well with but after a few weeks on the road with me, hell soon realise Im a complete fruitcake!"
Her conqueror here Magdalena Rybarikova went on to win the title (albeit through Marino's retirement)
