Raducanu was poised to return to action after her May surgeries but, on her 21st birthday, has decided to extend her time on the sidelines.
Raducanu started light training in August and said she is targeting a comeback for next season.
The inaugural Grand Slam of the year kicks off in Australia on Jan. 15.
