At the 2025 La Sella Open, a Ladies European Tour tournament held at La Sella Golf Resort in Spain, Italy's Alessandra Fanali delivered a top-notch performance, finishing in eighth place with a total of -7 (70-69-70-72). The 26-year-old demonstrated consistency and solidity, earning a prestigious finish in a tournament dominated by young Canadian Anna Huang, who won her first LET title at just 16 years, 10 months, and 22 days.
Fanali kept pace with the best, finishing with a final day of 72 (par), which allowed her to enter the top 10 alongside Spain's Nuria Iturrioz and Australia's Kirsten Rudgeley. Alessia Nobilio finished in 26th place with a total of -2 (73-67-71-75), showing good play, similar to her 67 (-5) on day two, but penalized by a more difficult final round. Anna Zanusso failed to make the cut, finishing with a partial score of 78-70.

The victory went to Anna Huang, who dominated the tournament from start to finish, finishing with an impressive -20 (64-66-69-69), seven strokes ahead of second-place finisher Nastasia Nadaud of France (-13). Huang, earning her first professional victory, became the youngest LET winner of 2025 and the second Canadian to win a LET title, after Brooke Henderson.

Her performance moved her from 50th to 22nd in the LET Order of Merit, with 848.43 points.
