Draw string (3)

I believe the answer is:

tie

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'draw' is the first definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)

'string' is the second definition.
(I know that string is a kind of the tie)

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Get even" , "11 [KNOT]" , "No-win situation" , "Knot; link" , "Equal score" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
