“(I) will not play at Wimbledon this year,” she said on her official website (www.dementieva.ru).
Dementieva suffered the injury during the French Open, forcing her to retire from her semi-final earlier this month against eventual winner Francesca Schiavone.
In Paris, Dementieva said she first suffered the problem to her left calf in a second-round win over Anabel Medina Garrigues.
“It was very painful to even walk. I couldn’t really move on the court,” she said at the time.
The Olympic champion would have been a legitimate title contender at the grass-court major after reaching the semi-finals at the All England Club last year.
She had a match point against Serena Williams before losing 6-7 7-5 8-6 to the American, who went on to claim her third Wimbledon crown.
Dementieva, who has yet to win a grand slam title, did not say when she planned to return to the Tour. Initially, she said the injury could take up to six or seven weeks to heal.
